3 YEARS HOME with Quinn!!!

We celebrated Quinn's "Gotcha Day" on June 4th 2010... 3 years being HOME from Kazakhstan!! We decided to take him out on a Duffy Boat again...since he really likes the ocean and boats! My younger brother Brock and his family came as well. We had sandwiches and cookies and had a great time boating around Newport Harbor!

It is hard to believe that it has been 3 years! We can't imagine life without him! I also never thought we would feel this way! Some of you know how hard it was in the beginning. But with time, patience and LOVE we did it! We are a HAPPY FAMILY...Quinn totally deserved a family!

Quinn is one of the HAPPIEST KIDS I have ever met! He loves every sport! He is also a natural athlete as well. He falls asleep faster than any kid I ever met. He is the pickiest eater too! He loves animals! He loves playing legos, boardgames, cards and watching movies! He loves to bake and cook things with Me (Mom) and he loves to build and fix things with Dad! He is CRAZY about Parker and they can play endlessly together for hours (we are so grateful for that) He is absolutely an AMAZING kid...we are sooo lucky! I am sooo happy that we took that leap of faith to do what we did! So to anyone reading this who may be contemplating adoption...it is tough at first (although every situation is different) you can do it! You can give a child an unbelievable gift...A Family! Quinn has taught me sooo much about myself! I know he has learned alot too!

To know there are millions of children "out there" that will never get the gift of a family breaks my heart!
