June 2nd marked our 1 year anniversary with Aaden. It seems crazy it has gone by so fast yet I hardly remember our days with out him! Here are some photos:

Well I must say he looks just like you Lori, it is funny how this happens, you all are so happy, amazing what the love of a child will do, he has some great parents, I am so happy for all of you. All the time you spent going back and forth to finally take him home, now in three minutes he is totally your and an american citizen, how wonderful!! What more could you ask for.
