Finally.........

School is done!!!! Aiden has come a long way in the short 10 weeks of  "American School". Reality is he really had about 8 weeks of full school since coming home in March! He was speaking so fluently, that it totally shocked us when we realized his reading comprehension was not even at a kindergarten level.  We hired a teacher to come in and work with Aiden 2 hours a day at school to help him catch up!!! Its amazing where he is just 8 weeks later!!! He is definitely on first grade level and slowly about to enter into the second grade level!!! Its our goal and hope by summer end, he will be on a third grade level or better!!! It looks very possible!!! Yeah!!!  Another finally goes towards the 3 months and 15 days it took for me to get Aiden's Adoption videos edited and uploaded! Check out the Adoption Journey Video page here on the blog to see the videos!!! One video " The Journey to Aiden" is a video I made with songs/pictures/videos to tell our story; the other video "Tian Adoption documentary" is a video of our Gotcha Day by the professional photographer/videographer we hired in China. Both are touching and moving but different in content and editing........

We are settling in very well. Its hard to imagine that we have been home only 3 months and 15 days! It seems like he has been in my life always. I can not imagine life without Aiden. He is the sweetest, funniest, and smartest kiddo. Ray and I are head over heels for this turkey! Looking back on our story how blessed we are that God stepped in and changed  circumstances in order for Aiden to be placed into our arms. Its something we will be ever indebted to God for.

We plan to celebrate Aiden's 9th birthday party on June 5th. He is having a Chuck E Cheese/ "Ben 10" theme party. We are moving to NYC area so we wanted him to have a party where he could celebrate with his current classmates before we take off in June
