Six Months as a Family





This post is for all of you who have been getting after me to put on a picture of Levi. With school starting and other things going on in my life, we haven't been as "camera happy" as we were this summer when I had more time.

I think my son has a shoe fettish because he loves to pull out the shoes from our shoe rack and carry them around. This has been a fascination from the beginning. His latest thing is to try on my shoes and walk around in them. Tonight I got a picture of it. It was funny!!

Today we have officially been a famly of three for 6 months. Wow!! That just blows my mind away because in some ways it seems like it has been so much longer and other times it feels like just yesterday. I wouldn't trade one day of the past 3 years of this process for anything in the world. The wait to bring him home was well worth it!!

Love the pictures! Wow, that child has got some hair! Eli too loves playing with shoes, but he hasn't tried walking in ours yet. Too cute!
