1st Adoption Anniversary

Hello Friends,
Well, tosay is our 1st annual adoption anniversarary. It doesn't seem like a whole year has passed. Here are a few achievments for the kiddos:
D.J. turned 6 and is doing great with reading! He loves school.
Megan turned 5 yesterday and has grown taller and more mature. She has learned so much this year how to play and interact with her siblings. I love to see her take charge of her play and use her imagination. I'm pretty glad she is able to reason now too.
Alayna has also grown tremendously. She colors beautifully and tries to stay in the lines. She enjoys TKD and dancing around the livingroom. She constantly tries to keep up witht he older 2 kids, never plays down a level. She has also grown fond of "pretties, shoes, and lip gloss"
Seth has grown into a little boy...NOT A BABY (as he would say). He continues to make us all laugh. His language is clear enough that Drew and I always know what he's talking about. Our friends need us to interpret sometimes. He loves school too and takes pride in his abc and 123s.
Joe....our little baby boy is now almost 1 and ready to take his first steps. He is so incredibaly sweet. He's been laughing and giggling like crazy lately...here are a few pics...
