Memory Lane

I was just going through my old emails from my Yahoo email address - looking for an email from a woman in Denmark who had contacted me because our sons were at the same orphanage. (Do you know I emailed with two families from Denmark who had children at Hope for Abandoned Children? Crazy.) Anyway, I never deleted any emails from last spring and summer and I'm so glad I didn't. It is amazing to look back through them. For one, it is fun to read everyone's congratulations after our referral and court date - I mean who wouldn't want to read again about how adorable their son is? :) But, I also read a lot of emails that people (maybe you) sent me wondering about Ethiopian adoption, or our agency, or travel or whatever. For example - Jocelyn - I didn't realize we've been email buds since July! Did you? And, there were so many other names that I recognized of people who were asking about adoption - and are now adopting - some even have their referrals! I just think this whole process is amazing and our online community is amazing. That's all.

And, what's a post without pictures? (Especially two in a row.) So, here is Micah eating spaghetti. It's his new favorite. Is this not hilarious? We obviously thought it was - we took about 45,000 pictures (not all of them are in the slideshow!). Oh - and btw, he did have a bib on, but he now takes his bibs off Hulk-style. He grabs them and makes a tough face and pulls them right off. Then he tries to pull his shirt off too. His new nickname might be David Banner.

  1. SO FUN!!! Love the pics. Can't believe he's eating spaghetti! Seems like not long ago we were wondering about what kind of bottles to use and dreaming of meeting our kiddos. Thanks for the memories and sharing everything in the present, too. Love to Hulkmeister Micah Spaghetti!

  2. How fun is that!? Doesn't every kid love Sketties as my kids called it. I love the memory lane walk - I can't believe you've been home for FIVE months! I remember your referral so clearly!

  3. CUTIE! He's really eating big kid food! Is that crazy to you? It seems like he's growing up so fast (and I'm on the outside just looking in! It probably feels so much more so for you!)

  4. Looove the pictures!! He seems to have mastered pasta.. time to graduate him onto something messier like blueberry pie.

  6. Silas has never tried Spaghetti...I never make it which is probably why.... I might need to try it out. Don't you love that they basically need a bath after every meal??? Silas won't keep his bibs on either....Micah and Silas are SO over bibs.

    Cute Pics!
