Me Again, Happy New Year

Hi everyone. I wish for you all a healthy and happy 2009. Life is amazing with our little Guatling. I just booked his 3rd birthday party at our local bounce house place. (Its not till April but it books up fast).

We are pursuing a domestic adoption of a little girl, due in April. We are very excited (and very anxious...I thought Guate adoption was bad!)

Here are a couple of pix of my big boy.

Blessings to you all.
