CHARM is DECEPTIVE, and BEAUTY is FLEETING, but a woman who FEARS the LORD is to be PRAISED . Proverbs 31:30

One year ago....

We got a phone call that would change our lives forever.

There was a baby boy that needed a home. My response would be;
"When can I pick him up?"
"Unsure", would be my answer.
Little did we know, that it would be four weeks later.
(Even though, the day after the phone call,
I had everything out of the attic, washed and ready)

For the first two weeks, we were not allowed to touch him, we could only look...













It was hard, but at least twice a week, I would go to the hospital, and watch him sleep....













Eventually...big brother and sister were allowed to come watch him sleep....



















Finally...we got to hold him....













The nurses would tell us how fussy he was,













but he was always content when we were there...



















There was an instant bond...














And now, one year later, we could not imagine our lives without him...
