Ds's 3rd birthday!!!!

Today we are celebrating our ds's 3rd birthday! We have also officially had ds home now longer than he was in his baby home. So today is very special to us!

Ds has been home now for 18 months (boy does time fly). It feels like just yesterday we were on a 16 hour plane ride home. Taten has been the prefect addition to our family. He is such a loving and gentle little boy. We couldn't have asked for a better little boy, I enjoy every moment I get to spend with him. I'm attaching a picture of him when he first became our son and his 3 yr old picture.
