some pictures from today

One year ago today in Fuzhou, Fujian

after nine months of praying, our lives changed forever. We watched a sad, crying little boy being brought into our hotel lobby. We were hoping for a peaceful transition! He was brought into the conference room and sat in our guide's lap while they tried to make him stop crying to take his adoption and passport photo. I know he did not know what was going on. I was not able to hold him till after that was done. It was very hard.

Today we have an almost 4 year old boy and he is one of the happiest children I have ever seen! He is smiling all the time and has a wonderful disposition. God has truly blessed us. Tonight we had cake, please forgive the messy background in the video, we just started school and things are not quite as I would like them. Look at that smile!
