One Year Ago...
One year ago, just a few days before Mother's Day, we left for Trip #1. Some of you may remember this, but it was a very tough week for us. I want to say thank you to everyone on this group for your support!
Here is some video feed of our first few meetings with our son. He was just a few weeks away from his 3rd birthday, and he weighed only 21 pounds. He was very shy and quiet with us. YouTube - Our first moments with our son And here is his recent school picture. Now, home 9 months, he is about to turn 4 and have his first-ever birthday party!

Miss Daisy, he is an absolutely GORGEOUS boy! He looks great in the uniform (with a face like that, I'm sure he looks good in anything) and it makes him look like a five or six year old! Happy Birthday!

The Cowboys outfit was not our idea...the photographer got to pick the outfits for the school pics.
Vmom--I think we did have the same schedule!
