Well, we finally got together with Andrew's birth mom. She is working really hard in getting her life together. She went back to school and is doing really well. She put back on some weight and seems very happy. It was a great visit and Andrew had so much fun.
Andrew, at first, was a little upset and not comfortable but only after 15 minutes, he and his mommy started where they left off. It had been 3 months since Andrew saw his mommy because she had so many conflicts and we were always having to reschedule.
Here are some pictures to share:

So Much Going On And Trying To Get Caught Up
Andrew is 2 1/2 years old already. We are heading to the Philippines to celebrate his 3rd birthday there. Our son has really grown and is about 40 inches tall.
For Father's Day, we took Andrew to Water World in Concord, CA. He had a blast. He loves playing and splashing in the water. It was in the mid 80s so the weather was perfect.
We are meeting his birth mom this Sunday. There have been some issues between her father and us and we are trying to work that out. It was about a month ago when the birth mom's father (who she is living with), started asking us for money. I was completely honest and told him we will not give him any money. It has caused a bit of strain in our relationship which has trickled down to the birth mom.
When we see her this Sunday, I will talk to her about what we are feeling in regards to her dad asking us for money. I want to make sure this does not get in the way of our relationship or make things uncomfortable for us.
Here are a few pics of our son at Water World. It was the greatest Father's Day ever.
Using The Word Adoption
It is amazing how fast our son is putting words together and forming sentences. Sometimes my partner and I look at each other and think, 'How the heck did he learn that'. Just the other day he counted to ten with out any prompting.
His bedtime stories began to change as we implemented the word adoption. We believe it is time to start using the word more and more.
We saw his Mommy about three weeks ago and we had originally planned her to join us to our outing to the zoo, but she got ill with the flu, so it was just us three. Andrew had a great time even though his Mommy was not with him. We didn't take many pictures because we found ourselves running after Andrew about 90% of the time. But...here are some.
Andrew is TWO?
I can't believe it, but it's been two years since we brought our son home from the hospital.
He's doing great. He's putting words together to form simple sentences. He will soon be ready for Preschool.
We have not seen the birth mom in about two months. Every time we would plan a play day she came down with a bad flu and or other complications. Then one weekend it rained so we had to cancel...but we plan to see her this weekend so stay tuned for more pics of Andrew and his Mommy. In the meantime, enjoy these updated pics of Andrew.
A couple of Videos in the Philippines
One video is of our house and the other is our littl guy taking a bath outside in front of our home in the Philippines.
Hello From The Philippines
Well, we are a little more than half way through our vacation. The time is flying by. Andrew has adjusted very well to the time change (16 hours forward from PST). At first, it was a bit difficult because his Daddies did not adjust as well as him...but we are back in sinc.
Here are some pics of Andrew with his neighbor TJ. He took a bath outside at our neighbor's house. He had so much fun playing in the water that he did not want to get out.
