Old Timer celebrating Parkersito's 5th Gotcha Day!

Hi everyone,
I don't post much here, but do stop in to catch up on what everyone is up to!! I'm also on Facebook with alot of folks on here!!

This past weekend we celebrated Parker's 5th Gotcha Day. It is hard to believe that 5 years has passed since he was placed in our arms forever!
He is a boy full of energy and love!! He is a soccer player and baseball player. He has a wild imagination and a wonderful sense of humor! It is hard to believe that his Kindergarten year is almost over and he will be in 1st grade and 7 years old in the fall!

I posted our annual Gotcha Day video on our blog if you'd like to check it out!!!

Steph,

I always enjoy your videos so I'll definitely check it out!

I don't post as often anymore either, but I do read and love to hear updates about peeps with kiddos around my kids' ages.

Alyssa is now 7, in the first grade and looking forward to second grade. She has been home for (the end of June) seven years. Avery is now 5, in pre-k and is cautiously looking forward to kindergarten next year. He has been home for (the beginning of June) five years. My kids' adoptions actually "sandwiched" the Hague fiasco!

So good to hear from you.

Take care!
