Keaton's 2nd Birthday Party

We celebrated Keaton's birthday a week early. He wanted an Elmo cake. MOMMY made him one. My first ever attempt to make any cake! He loved it. We had the kids an Elmo face making station. We had a great day with all of our family and friends to celebrate Keaton's 2nd BD. Keaton especially loved his wagon from Grandpa Doodle Pop. It was a hit at the party, and now all through the house!

Happy Mother's Day!

This time last year we did not even know about Keaton and had been waiting patiently for 3 1/2 years for a referral. May 19th 2010 we changed to the Special Needs China program and got Keaton's referral the same day! His first birthday was May 21, 2010 the day we accepted the referral officially. We had him home as our son and a U.S. citizen Sept. 26th, 2010. Today I enjoyed my first Mother's Day with such a great little boy! He has blended right in to our lives and family from day 1. He is always smiling and happy everyday. What a blessing he is, and we are so thankful God chose for us all to be a family. We are now going to have a brother coming home in just a few more months!

Sunday pics !

Keaton enjoyed an unexpected visit from Grandma Dee Dee and BaBa! We had a picnic in the park and then he had a few minutes at home to play and show off his toys.

Happy Easter!

Keaton enjoyed his first Easter! We went to our "Sonrise Service" at 630 AM and then breakfast at church. We came home to see what the Easter Bunny brought Keaton! We had lunch with all of our family.
We also went to MUSC earlier this past week for his 6 month evaluation by the International Adoption and Palate teams. He hit all of his milestones! We also went to the Aquarium in Charleston and he enjoyed the fish and animals!

Finally our new LID!!

We finally found out our new LID ( LOG IN DATE) in China for Kanah is 4-7-2011!! Next is LOA and then TA!! We are a grandfathered I 600A family so our paper trial is different and I have to guess my wait times by what is going on with the I-800 A families for LOA and TA. Praying to travel in June! Stay tuned!

Easter Egg Hunt!

Keaton had a big day on Saturday! He went to our church Easter Egg hunt, and then to his friend Mason's 1st birthday party. Looks so cute in his Easter outfit!
