Heart Owen has been home for 2 yrs and Ian is 1!

My two boys are the most precious creatures to ever hit the face of the earth! Owen's 2nd Gotcha Day was 1 August, and Ian turned one 6 Aug. They are amazing!!

Here's Owen and my dad celebrating putting a floor puzzle together, and Ian crawling through a tunnel at the library!

Congrats on two terrific milestones! I remember when we began our adoptions at nearly the same time. Zack's third birthday is just around the corner and Clayton will be 18 months the following week. Amazing!
