It has been so long since I posted that I almost don't know what to say. We are home! (seven weeks ago) Merry Christmas! (today) Life has been so busy and I am feeling like I'm just now processing some of the events of the past couple months and feeling in the mood to write about them. It has been a special, happy, hard, wonderful couple of months since we left for Hong Kong, and we are settling in and loving our little Simon. He is adventurous and brave and cheerful and very busy and adorable. He is a trooper and really tough and has done amazing at making the transition from Hong Kong to our home considering what a huge, life-altering transition that has been. We feel very complete and very busy and just really thankful that he is ours and that all of our kids are ours. I will post later about our trip to Hong Kong and Christmas and some of the in between, but right now here are some of my favorite pictures from 2014. I am feeling so thankful today, especially looking back over the past year--a lot has happened since last Christmas! (PS--we are still not supposed to post real pictures of Simon until the adoption is finalized, so I just found pictures of all of us where Simon was not looking at the camera. There happen to be lots of those, which is good in this case.)
