It's hard for us to believe, but we've already been home with Simon for just over one month. It's been lots of fun and Simon has enjoyed tons of new experiences, meeting family and friends and becoming a city kid.
My words can never do justice to all that we are experiencing, so instead, I'll let these pictures speak a thousand (give or take) words.
ps - yes I know I still need to respond to being tagged and to post my 7 random things... it's coming....
