So we have shared some pics of us bringing Jonathan home, but here are his referral pics. 
Can you believe his cuteness???? I mean....look at those eyes!!! And that cute thing with his fingers! 
Yep, those are the face photos we fell in love with!!!!
Sqeezable cheeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And here he is today.....one year ago.....wobbly was a way to describe his walking, and very thin. 
Now watch him run!!!! He loves it, and can walk over 2 miles without complaining.....
He is totally at home here....
This was his first Christmas home with us.....
Need I say more??? I mean.....this little man is all about being cute!!
Here is the presents we whipped out today......(we spread our gifts out so we and the kids enjoy them more!!!!) The kids are all out back staring at NEW BIKES!!
They were sooo excited!!! They have had bikes before, but with one broken, and more kids learning to ride......they couldn't ride at the same time. 
They love riding together!! They say- come on....let's all ride around the camp. (This is the greatest for us as Camp Directors :) Seeing them enjoy the camp).
Of course racing is involved when you have boys!!!!
Ready, Set, GO!!!!
We also got training wheels for Sarah on the smaller bike....she is still working on the skill. Of course her posing skills are well- this is our Sarah!!!! Beautiful!!!!Praying your day is wonderful and you all enjoyed your Christmas time!!!!
We have e-mailed & overnighted some more paperwork to USCIS, and praying we hear back soon.....like tomorrow would be GREAT!!!! We know God is in CONTROL!!!!! We also know there are sooo many prayer warriors out there & WE APPRECIATE YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love all the pictures.
ReplyDeletePraying all the paperwork has a miraculous speedy angel behind it!!!
Delighting in Him
What fun! We always spread our presents out over a day or two, as well. Lets them really enjoy each gift.
