One month ago today

One month ago today, I saw my youngest sons face in person for the very first time
one month ago today, I was able to wrap my arms around him
one month ago today, I was able to kiss him and love him for the first time
one month ago today, I was able to snuggle my son to sleep
one month ago today, I was able to start becoming his Mommy!

I cannot believe it has been a month since we finally met Samuel. We saw him get out of the van, holding tightly to the Ayi's hand. He was hidden behind a screen while she got a tissue to wipe his nose, bent down to talk to him and led him to us. He came to us without hesitation. Leaned in for a hug and called us mama and baba. We were overjoyed...he was tolerant. He played with us that day and every day since! He has brought such immense joy to our household! Tim and I joke that every day he wakes up, looks around and just seems so stinkin happy that we are still here!

He has been such an incredible blessing to our family, such a happy tolerant little soul. He keeps us on our toes for sure, but laughing all the while. I have never met a child with such personality!!! We cannot wait to see what he is gonna do next!

He has come such a long way already since we have been home. His vocabulary is increasing at a remarkable rate and his understanding of English as well. We are working hard to get his SN all sorted out and making headway in that area. His gross motor has drastically improved and so has his knowledge of his boundaries.

We have had our struggles, our adjustments and I am certain will continue to do so, but I am so thrilled with all the progress we have made and am so excited to see what is going to happen next! God has blessed us beyond measure!!!


Gotcha day...but we couldnt get him to look at the camera to save our lives.....












What a ham now...I cant hardly keep out of infront of the camera! God is SO good!!
