Been home 6 months on 3/15

It is hard to believe that we have been home with Abe for almost 6 months now. He is doing great and we have all learned a lot about each other! Our lives are upside-down right now and we wouldn't have it any other way. For those of you who are home more recently and have had bonding issues, we did too. He is now so happy and is always just running from one activity to another.

We are hoping and praying for all of you still waiting to bring your ones home.

Congrats! Our timelines are so similar and we'll be celebrating 6 months in our arms this weekend and 6 months home later next week. Hard to believe all that excitement and crazy was just 6 months ago...it seems like a lifetime ago!

He's so cute! Rockin' on his bike!
