3 years ago today...

...we fell in love with a little boy after seeing his picture for the first time. It's hard to believe it's been 3 years since we received Joey's referral but I remember the day like it was yesterday...

Playing at the park...

Joey loves going to the park so we've been spending alot of time there this summer. Here are a few pictures from our outing a couple weeks ago.

4th of July

I don't think we could have asked for better weather this 4th of July... it was 80 degrees and sunny with a slight breeze. Perfect!! We went to Buffalo River State Park in the morning. Then Jess, Terrance and the kids came over at night. The kids had a full day of playing... and even stayed up for the fireworks. Joey thought the fireworks were cool at first but then got a little scared toward the end. I don't blame him... some of them were pretty loud.


Playing with snaps... the "kid friendly" fireworks.

Joey's first fish!

Josh and Joey went on their first father-son fishing trip this afternoon... and here's Joey with the first (of five) fish he caught...
Catching all these fish is hard work... time for a snack!
On another note... today marks the 2 year anniversary of the day we brought Joey home from Guatemala! We celebrated the occasion with an authentic Guatemalan meal... Sopa de Arroz Chapin. It was delicious!!

Air Museum

Today we visited the Air Museum. Joey had a blast! He just kept saying "WOW... look at that one!" They also had a small plane and helicopter on display for kids to sit in and play with the controls... needless to say, he thought that was pretty cool.
Here's Joey hamming it up for the camera...



Another picture Mom? I have places to go, people to see...




Ready for takeoff...
