One Year Ago, Quinn came Home!

June 4, 2008..One Year!
It has been quite a year! We have had good times and unfortunately some bad ones, but we all got through it!
Quinn is DEFINITELY part of the family! Some of you know that we struggled in the beginning. We weren't prepared...like we thought we were! Adjusting to a new family member took time...lots of time! Quinn went through his own emotions. To us his adjustment was much tougher to go through! He couldn't speak to us...and he couldn't understand us! Poor little guy!
Today Quinn speaks with only a little accent. He starts Kindergarten in September. He is VERY EXCITED to be going to BIG SCHOOL.
Quinn and Parker get along so much better too! They of course have their moments...but they are far and few between...we are grateful for that!
We celebrated June 4th by going on a Duffy Boat down in Newport Beach. We ate dinner while cruising around the peninsula and Balboa Island. Quinn got to drive the boat...what fun he had! I will add photos soon!
We had measured both the boys when I got home with Quinn last year. Parker grew 1 1/2 inches one year later and Quinn a whopping 4 1/2 inches!! He also gained 12 pounds!! He finally looks his age! Parker still points out...I am still taller than Quinn.
So THANK YOU to EVERYONE...for all your thoughts, advice, guidance and patience! It really meant alot to us!!
