Time Flys When You're Raising Kids

Well it's official. One year ago today Toby and I packed up the apartment, loaded in a car, and headed to the airport for our long day home. Our flight left Guatemala at 12:50 pm and touched down (after a layover in Charlotte and a meeting with his Godmother) at 10:50 pm. It was an incredibly long day and after a month in "The Land of the Eternal Spring" I was happy to be home. Toby has grown so much in a year and he is constantly learning new things and amazing his Mama. So in honor of Toby being an American Citizen for a year, here is the year in pictures.
