Two Years Ago Today ...

... we saw this sweet little boy for the first time. We can't believe that two years has gone by so quickly! You can read about that day here. What a day that was! We love re-living that day and told Simon about it at dinner time tonight. We know that he doesn't get it just yet but we think he's beginning to understand his story.

We can't believe how much Simon has grown and changed -- and how we have grown and changed too, as we figure out parenting each day. It is the most exhausting, fun, challenging, joyful and love-filled thing we've ever undertaken. Our lives are definitely more full of belly-laughs and eye rolls (from Simon!) than we ever imagined. We love you, Simon Kebebe, and can't wait to tell you that you're going to be a big brother so that you can share in the joy of that moment too. No news from Ethiopia about Lil Ailor 2 at this time but we're hoping that we do have news to share later this year -- minus the house being left unlocked all day, etc. : )

Happy Referral-versary, sweet Simon!
