Soon to be TWO!

Guess who's going to be turning 2 soon? It was this time last year we received our referral of a chubby cheeked little boy. We were on vacation and had no idea we would be receiving "The Call" from Mary T. We borrowed my sister's computer and went to the nearest internet cafe. We took pictures of the pictures Mary had sent. How could you not smile at that picture? Two teeth, chubby cheeks and those bright eyes.

We were among the lucky families that were able to bring our boy home within just a few months. However, there are still a few families (who rec'd their call around the same time) who have yet to be able to bring their child(ren) home. Such is the adoption process. A roller coaster of emotions and luck and chance.

So now, our little guy has been home 9 months. How amazing his transition has been. He hit the ground running. His disposition has been cheerful and willing and down right amazing. He has his moments where things scare him or he just doesn't understand. For the most part though, he's just had an awesome transition. In fact, I told someone just the other day, of my 4 children, his has been the easiest by far. Of course, now he is entering the Terrible 2's and there are moments that they are terrible but for the most part, they are mostly comical. We have been blessed beyond measure to have this little boy in our lives.

This is what he looks like 9 months home!
The expression speaks volumes!
