Reminiscing











Today marks 1 year since we were reunited with our sweet angel. We remember it like it was yesterday and we can't even imagine our lives without our Matthew. After we got to the Baby Home that morning, we waited and waited and waited in a tiny little room waiting for them to bring our baby to us....felt like forever! Our hearts were racing wondering if he would remember us! It was the best day ever!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are so excited to hear of court dates being scheduled and others are getting prepared to being reunited with their little ones! We are so hoping to hear good news soon from Chad and Sarah that they too will be reunited with their little boy very very soon!

Here are a couple of pics from our 1st day back with Matthew and then a picture of Matthew today. What a change......his eyes were so empty back then now they are just full of joy and laughter!

  4. Wow - the transformation from lost little baby to happy little boy is so amazing!

    You know we are living the same life - our dogs are also on special diet dogfood b/c of CJ's food throwing! I really hope the throwing obsession calms down a bit soon because just like you, it is driving me crazy. :)

  5. What a difference! I too thank Russia for such a wonderful gift! I love his hair, it looks so full and wavy. I'm a bit jealous as Ava is lacking in that department big time!
