One Wild Year
Around this time a year ago, our life changed forever. Mike received a call that there was a match. Mama was busy working an audit and didn't receive the call because of poor cell phone reception. That is until I got home and checked my email. And there it was, number one with a bullet: B Baby Congrats from our social worker.
As the shock rolled over me, I sat trembling. We weren't expecting the call for another couple months. I cautiously opened the attachment and there you were as a newborn baby (long and slim). This was followed by a picture of you as a 6 month old. You had changed in that short period, chubby baby cheeks, long feet and wispy black hair. I was mesmerized. What to make of this beautiful little boy.
Around that time, Dada came home. He too was trying to put it all together, the first few pictures of our son. We immediately called our international doctor at Chop to set up an appointment to review your file. The rest of the night we both couldnt stop looking at your picture. I must have opened the email a hundred times. Looking at your deep brown eyes, I just knew, you were it kiddo.
The next day the doctor confirmed what we already knew. You were a keeper. Very cute, meeting milestones and in the 90 percentile in height and weight. As we hung up the phone, the doctor's parting words were that adoption is not without risk, but this little fella seems perfectly healthy and fine. Let this be a lesson to you. You will face risks in your lifetime. But we encourage you to face these risks, make calculated decisions and then live with no regret. The reward is oh so worth it. Thank you for making ours the best one we ever did.

Truck Mama
You couldn't ask for a more perfect January day. A stellar 60 degrees. And the little guy certainly got his groove on. First with a long walk with the pups at the park and then back home on the deck.
And he successfully is making the transition to a bigger boy room at daycare. Which is much needed as he towers over his Wobbler class.
