Swim lesson #4

Our little guy is loving his swim lessons. 

Day 1 of swim lessons

Tonight was the first night of swim lessons for our little guy. Pretty sure he had a good time. 

Mother's Day

It was July 7th 2010 that we received an email that would change our lives forever.  We were able to see our little guys face for the first time. We read all of the documents over and over and pulled up a map to try and look for the area our guy was born. I still remember the email and the overwhelming feeling that came over me when I called Caleb to tell him we got "the" email. We both rushed home so we could read it first hand together. The emotion that I felt as I looked at my 5 month old baby boy for the first time is indescribable. He was happy, chubby, he had beautiful dark brown eyes, he was handsome. Without him even knowing it he stole my heart at that very moment. That is the same moment that I became a MOM. A mom to a son half way around the world. It still amazes me...here we are today... he is now curled up on the couch with me. MY couch...in OUR home. I would go through everything we did again and again...knowing that the outcome would/could be this great. 

Mother's Day was always about us thanking our moms for being so amazing and I don't want them to forget how much we love and care about each of them. There is another mom out there that I think about all the time. She holds a special place in my heart. I will never get the chance to meet her but I am forever grateful for her. Because of her choice to give up her baby boy she gave me a son.  I only hope that deep down she knows how much we adore our little guy. 

Could he be any more handsome???

Poem

I was sent this poem today and it made me tear up. I hope our little guy always knows how much we love him and that we did everything we could to make him part of our family.

"Yes, I'm adopted.
My folks were not blessed
With me in the usual way.
But they picked me,
They chose me
From all the rest,
Which is lots more than most kids can say.”
― Shel Silverstein, Every Thing on It
