Home for 2 years now!


I can't believe that it has been a little over 2 years since we got Austin home! What a roller coaster ride! We absolutely adore him and can't seem to remember life without him in it! He is growing by leaps and bounds and has had no developmental delays. In fact, he is too smart for his own good sometimes! Very active! I completed his readoption myself without an attorney and received his US Passport a few months ago. That was such a thrill! To be FINISHED!!! Anyway, just wanted to touch base and thank all of you who were around when we were going through the journey and I was kvetching over every delay! You guys were (and are) great!

Sheri (Austin's momma)
