A Very Special Day

Not only is today Father’s Day but it also marks the first anniversary of Evan arriving in the United States and becoming a citizen. It is so hard to believe that he has been here a year. Kevin and I still talk about the flight home with him. He wasn’t great but it wasn’t as bad as we expected. He slept the first 45 minutes and the last two hours of an 11 hour flight. He then slept from Atlanta to Greensboro (he didn’t even wake up when we landed). By the time we landed in Greensboro, Kevin and I had been up about 24 hours. Talk about exhausted. Kevin also came home sick. It is kind of ironic. We are marking one year home in the States and Kevin is sick.

We had lunch at Evan’s Mommaw and Papaw’s today for Father’s Day and they had a special cake to celebrate his year home. He also received a Build-a-Bear Puppy with a Carolina Tar Heels bandana from his Aunt Dennie, Uncle Curtis and Honorary Grandpa Kendrick.

It has been a great day of celebration
