This time one year ago, we were in Vietnam looking for a flight home. We actually held our little boy for the first time on January 6, 2009. Anyone who followed this 3 year adoption and all the twists and turns along the way know that he is nothing short of a miracle! He truly is. He was born early weighing 3 pounds. His twin did not survive and hospital records say Jordan was blue and had shallow breathing when he was dropped off there by a family member. He is a survivor. We had such a difficult time getting him home and it actually almost didn't happen due to government issues. I can't believe he has been here a whole year. He went from barely being able to roll over at a year old, not opening his mouth for food, not allowing anyone to hold his hand, and being so sick that he was on twice daily breathing treatments to walking, running, doing gymnastics, feeding himself, eating ALL THE TIME, holding hands with no problems, talking, and being off of all his breathing medications and inhalers. He's such a strong little boy and we are so blessed to have him!
To celebrate his birthday on the 9th, we went to Disneyland on the 8th, Legoland on the 9th, and had family over for pizza and cake on the 10th.
Jordan and Skylar loved wearing the 3D glasses at Disneyland.
Say Cheese!
Pretending to drive the cars at Legoland
The kids played with Bob the Builder forever!
Look who woke up on the right side of the bed!
It's my party and I'll strip if I want to.
He tried eating his cake with his fork, but it took too long.

I love this video. We rolled the windows down on the way to Legoland and the kids had so much fun playing in the wind!
