Happy Gotcha Day, Kyle! Can it be 12 Years!?

Hello all,

Christmas Eve always brings memories of our very special Christmas Present 12 years ago!

Kyle has again proudly and capably taken on the role of Big Brother to his new Little Brother, Zachary!

We're a few weeks removed from returning home from our sixth and FINAL Adoption trip to bring home our son, Zachary.  It was a very difficult trip in some ways, and Kyle shined as the trustworthy and devoted Big Brother.

He is enjoying 7th Grade and is presently on the verge of passing his halfway point toward finishing Middle School.

He's looking forward to starting up with LAX again this spring.

We're looking forward to a nice rest of the week visiting with Grandma and Poppa here in Michighan.

This will forever be on of the defining photos of our trip to bring Kyle home:







It was taken just a few hours after we brought him back to our hotel in Nanchang.  He had a rough afternoon, and we had just given him his first bath. He began to settle in and just tarted playing with his stacking cups.

Below are some more recent photos...



Happy Gotcha Day, Kyle!
We Love you very much!
