Hey Little Buddy,

Eight days ago.  That's when my life...wait, take that back...our lives, changed in a totally, massive way.  You may not remember since you were only 38 days old at the time, but that was the day that the four most important people in my life drove to somewhere they'd never been before and came home with the little guy who would totally turn our lives upside down.  Despite the utter lack of sleep, the spit up, and the dirty diapers, there's no one else we would rather have join our crew...than you.  Your toothless smile lights up the room, your huge eyes make us lose track of time, and your happy shrieks make us all hope and pray that this dream will never end.  The past eight days have definitely been a challenge for this already crazy busy family, but it has been worth every second.  When the Lord set us out on this journey almost a year ago, we had no clue that you would be the one who stole our hearts.  And even when we were tempted to give up in frustration at the lack of progress in our getting approved, and all the endless delays and false hopes, Jesus kept giving us daily peace as He reminded us that He was still in control.  And then there was the fact, that He knew and hadn't told us, that you hadn't even been born yet.  :)

So here we are...a little over a week into this adventure with you.  We're not really sure what the outcome will be the end. But three things we do know with absolute certainty...we ALL love you SO much, we ALL want you to stay FOREVER, and we ALL are going to continue to trust that the ONE who worked breathtaking miracles to unite our paths is the same ONE still running this show.  And all of this is to bring Him glory!

Sleep well little buddy,

Your possible future Daddy
