Wow. Wow. Wow.
It's our 6 month anniversary.
The anniversary of the day...
Markos said Goodbye to the care center and his friends there.
Took a very long plane ride to America
Drove home from the airport in a "mini-bus-y"
(or minivan as most Americans call it!)
Met his new brother and sister
and started a life with his new family!
No more this...
or this...
or sleeping in this bed with another boy...
or living here...
or playing here
Instead, in the past 6 months, he has gotten to....
 |
| play in the snow |
 |
laugh and dance and wrestle
|
 |

 |

 |

 |
| play in sprinklers |
 |
| take hikes with Daddy |
 |

 |
| be wild on the slip n' slide |
 |
| go to the pool (and take swimming lessons) |
 |
| play in the sand |
 |
| go kayaking |
 |
| play soccer with the family |
His eyes were filled with wonder, excitement,
and a little fear
on that first ride home from the airport....
...but he made sure there was constantly
a new song to sing,
and we are so thankful for the joy that he brings
to our family!!
Happy 6 months home!!
