Its been a very difficult week, I just saw your e-mail from another family who is adopting and went to your blog to watch the video again. That face has to brighten any day. Love you to pieces little one. Can you believe I have already started my shots for our trip to Africa. I am actualy getting just a tiny bit excited.

Great video. I had to laugh b/c our son's pic from Adera is on the same flowered chair thing that your pics are on.
The finish line picture on the garage made me cry! What a great video.
And your son is so adorable!
Thank you for sharing. Absolutely incredible hope for those of us that are waiting and a few tears too:)
