Our Referral Anniversary!

THEN...



...and NOW!



It was one year ago today that Ryan first entered our lives. We fell in love with him the moment we saw his picture, and he was at the center of our thoughts every day during that long 7-month wait to bring him home. Sometimes it's hard to believe he's been a part of our family for 5 months already, but at the same time, it feels like he's always been with us and we can hardly remember what life was like before he came along.

For a fun look back on how Ryan has grown and changed over the past year, I made a photographic timeline with a picture from each month.


Referral - December 2006 (2 months)


January 2007 update (3 months)


February 2007 update (4 months)


March 2007 update (5 months)
(We should have included some haircutting scissors in that care package!)


April 2007 update (6 months)


May 2007 update (7 months)


June 2007 update (8 months)


July 2007 update (9 months)
(We received this picture by e-mail on the morning we left for Taiwan.)


July 2007 (9 months)
(Post-Adoption)


August 2007 (10 months)


September 2007 (11 months)


October 2007 (12 months)


November 2007 (13 months)


Today - December 11, 2007 (14 months!)


We hope all the families who are anxiously awaiting referrals will see the faces of their precious babies soon!

Karin - Oh my gosh has he grown! He is getting even more adorable, if that is even possible!
