Hopeless cases to Kings/Queens of the Hill- Pic Parade Please
Hi Everyone - thanks for the nice replies when I posted the photos of Joey and one of our puppies keeping an eye on the neighborhood ( Photos That Melt Your Heart thread) but I was really hoping that you all would post some of your favorite pics as well.
I know that when we were waiting, photos of little ones who had made it home made me so happy. Hopefully we can put a smile on someone's face! To those who are waiting, this little guy's case had all sorts of twists and turns and it seemed really hopeless at times. Now, he is clearly too cool to be bothered with much of anything at all. We're cheering for your families to be together!

Ok, well we fit in here. We waited 19 months for Parker to come home and it was not fun at all. I remember the tears and heartache oh so well, but most days it is forgotten by this cutie INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!

Even though we didn't wait long, I had to share this picture of Matthew.

Here is our Isaac whose adoption seemed like a hopeless case(19mths of never knowing IF he would ever come home) for so long. In these photos he is stepping on slippery, sliding, moving logs...that is what our case was...lots of slipping and sliding...But he is actually enjoying his predicament here we didn't enjoy that feeling too much while waiting for him to come home!

Steph! I think your dear Parker and our Jacob are living parallel lives!!! I KNEW they would've been best buddies if we wouldn't have moved! Here is OUR Mr. Incredible! I swear he would wear those jammies EVERY night if we let him! He has worn them so much that the bottom seam on the shirt is ripped out.  Guess Mommy had better get out the sewing kit - I'm sure he'll want to wear them next week in Guatemala!!

Cindy,
That is cracking me up!!!! We bought those Jammies and he immediately went into action moves!!!! The Disney Store was just having a sale on them about 1 month ago. I saw your name on the Branson get together list. It would be great if we could meet up there so that Parker and Jacob could play. We are for sure going!!!

Here's what was waiting at the end of the rainbow for us, after 2 1/2 years of waiting, including 15 months in PGN. She was well worth the wait.

Yes - Jacob thinks he is an action hero as soon as he puts on his jammies!! Our boys are such cards!!!  We won't be at the Branson gathering  We have a wedding in KC that weekend - I am a bridesmaid and Jacob is the ring bearer. I'm so sad to miss it!! You'll have to plan another Branson trip sometime - we are only about 45 minutes north of Branson!!
