You've Got Mail

Today, we opened one of the most exciting pieces of mail we have ever received. Our approval to adopt!!! We have waited so long to see those words! We still have several steps to go through before we will receive our adoption date but we are getting there! We will sign our intent to adopt this week and then be able to move forward with the remaining steps. Please keep praying that everything goes smoothly and happens in a timely manner. We are ready for this sweet boy to be ours forever!!!

Enjoying the warm weather last weekend 😃

Just Like That

One of your favorite phrases right now is "just like that." You say it about a million times a day when you show us how to do something or you accomplish something new. "Just like that" is exactly how your Mommy and Daddy feel. Just like that you are three years old. You turned three on Friday and we started your birthday with your favorite, a donut with icing and sprinkles. You blew out the three candles that were on your donut and loved your birthday tree. We decorated the Christmas tree with balloons and streamers and you thought it was the funniest thing. You were so proud of your special birthday certificate from school. You got a special birthday milkshake after school with your cousin Gracey. Today, we celebrated your birthday with friends and family. You are one loved little boy, there were lots of people here to celebrate with you. Of course all of the decorations were Mickey and you were in heaven. It was so fun watching your eyes light up when you saw the Mickey balloons, the Mickey tablecloths and your Mickey cake.

You are growing up so fast and I hope you know what a true blessing you are. You are the most loving, caring, silly boy ever. You are so curious and love to know how things work. You went to the dentist for the first time this week and loved everything about it! You were such a big boy and sat perfectly with your mouth open. You constantly amaze us and we love you more than you will ever know.

In three short days, we will celebrate 3 wonderful years together as a family. We pray this is the last birthday and "gotcha day" without being a legal family.

Happy Birthday my sweet boy! I love you so!
