Joe opened his Christmas Camera! He loved it!
150 shots later, he got quite a few keepers for a 2yo.

Joe's 2nd birthday! Can you believe it?!?! Time flies.
Joe, fake smile.  Makes me laugh every time!
"Smile for the camera, Joe!" And this is what you get.

Joe found some flowers...
Joe and Luke are pals!
Yes, the hamper.

Trip to the zoo:
 

Around the house:

Yogurt

Some Friday pictures around the yard and Boughton Park.
May 7, 2007! Finalization day! This is Trudy Joe and I with the honorable Craig J. Doran, Ontario County Court Judge. This is from my wife's little camera, while mine was in the shop getting fixed. To make a long story short, I couldn't get the images off of her memory stick, the dang thing went corrupt after taking some of the most important pictures to us ever! After full-fledge recovery from Trudy's bad memory stick, I got them back. Whew!

Joe is a US citizen now! He was finalized today, May 7, 2007.

Joe on a fine spring day on his first picnic at the park!
Joe loves water...

Joe loves to hike, though he needs his "friends". He is really demanding about going outside! He hands us his shoes, and points to the door and hollers! I love it, it is a perfect place for an outdoor kid.

Joe with his "helpers" walking through the snow. Comon dad! We lost quite a lot of our snow by the 18th, otherwise Joe's diaper would be really wet right now.

Joe having fun with garden signs.
Joe and Grandma and Grandpa Curtis.

Joe and I went for a walk this past weekend (March 11) He loved it!

Where to dad?
Comon, lets go!
Your too slow dad, bye!
See ya!
Restless in the toy box.

Well, Joe is now over 13 months, and I know it has been a while since I updated. Here are the latest!

Hey dad LOOK! haha, that was funny!

Time to go for a horseback ride!

Ride 'em cowboy! Drinking and driving at such a young age!

Riding horses is such hard work.

Joe's first birthday!

Jammin!

Went for a walk in Mendon Ponds, Joe loved it!

Joe started climbing

Wow, sleeping like a baby.

A little dinner here and there.

And Christmas tree shopping on Dec 9th!

Oh, he is walking good now! Mostly unassisted. Not quite stable yet!

Hike at Ontario County Park. We met some nice folks who were helping their family member look for a deer they got while hunting, and they took the picture for us!

The day after thanksgiving Trudy and I went shopping in Canandaigua. We stopped in O'Briens to have lunch. Joe is so well behaved that other people were commenting about it:

Joseph Curtis Wyman's Plane Day! (And our lack of sleep day)

Sorry we don't have more info up, but it will be coming. Just too darned tired right now.

First contact! We see and touch Joseph for the first time!
This is the very sweet lady who brought Joseph to us. The carriers had such a hard time parting with the babies after a long trip from South Korea. I felt bad for them.
Very happy baby! (Most were balling, he was doing this).
This is a new father of one of the other adoptive families. His look says it all as this little guy has a set of lungs on him!
Another adoptive parent, a little girl!
All of us adoptive families, 4 children total.
Trudy in her element. Joseph is one happy kid!
Again, happy!
11:45PM on the way back our flight got moved from 9:30PM to almost 12:00AM Ugh. The last thing we needed. Fortunately the pilot stomped on the pedal and got us from LaGuardia to Rochester in 41 minutes. I am surprised we didn't break the sound barrier! Personally I think it was the crying babies that spurred him on.
Joseph at home this morning!

 Joseph says hello below!

"5vw[ w;z/nmuj9zm.banm," Yes, is first written letter. He needs some English lessons I think.

Needless to say we are tired, and there are a lot more pictures to be had. I was hard-pressed to correct all of my typos from being so whoped.

May 10th, 2006

We have some new pictures! Cecilia went to South Korea to the agency there and was kind enough to take some pictures while she was there and send them to us!

Here he is somewhere between 3-4 months old.

We will get more info up soon, in a hurry to get back to work!

March 8th, 2006

Welcome! We have a match in in our adoption! Only 9 days after our home study, wow! A bit shockingly fast. Spent today running around to the banks getting things ready.

Joseph was born in January as a health baby boy! We will get more information up ASAP, but we have more paperwork to deal with. The government wants every detail out of you, even though they already have it. Fun fun fun.

Joseph held by his foster mom!

Joseph asleep, isn't he cute!?!?

Joseph awake, just a few days ago!
