December 1, 2004Three years ago today we drove up to Detroit International Airport to meet Andrew for the first time. It was one of the most amazing, emotional days of my life. Each year we celebrate our family day on December 1. We have made a trip to Chuck E Cheese part of our annual celebration. We also make airplane cookies each year and watch Andrew's homecoming video. It's amazing to look at the pictures of our past Family days and see how much our little guy has changed.

We started our family day with a trip to IHOP for breakfast. Andrew and Meghan LOVE IHOP and go there on their "daddy day" outings with Mark. So, they were excited to go with the whole family. Aaron was less excited-IHOP was right in the middle of his normal AM nap. So, I spent most of breakfast holding him and trying to keep him from annoying all of the other diners. After breakfast we drove to Chuck E Cheese and the kids had a ball. Aaron slept through the entire experience! We came home for lunch and had airplane cookies for dessert. After naps, we watched Andrew's homecoming video. He was very interested in his video this year. He has really been piecing together his story and asks a lot of questions about his adoption lately. I got weepy just watching the video-I can still remember how intense that day was and how excited and scared we were to finally become parents to this amazing little boy.
I will be uploading lots more pictures to our shutterfly account soon: http://andrewandmeghan.shutterfly.com/action/
