Happy Gotcha Day!

One year ago today, we laid eyes on our beautiful little boy and held him for the first time. What a year it has been! It's gone by in a flash! We feel so blessed that God gave you to us on this day 1 year ago, Gabba Goo! We love you!

Here we are now, 1 year later, as one big happy family!
