Boys' night

I work on Saturday evenings, so Tom and Quinn have boys' nights, which are usually rowdy and messy. They also involve lots of videos and self-portraits like these:

Thanks for stopping by my special-needs adoption blog!

This is my attempt to tell the true story of my adoption of Quinn, who spent the first 16 months of his life in an orphanage in Beijing. This is the kind of information I was searching for while I waited to adopt from China, so it's the kind I want to share - the joys as well as the challenges.

We thought this photo was so cute when we saw it the week before we went to meet Quinn. Now we know this look as "Uncle Fussy Gus." Thank goodness he doesn't come to visit very often!
