Celebrating Adoption...2 years later!!!
Two years ago this weekend, our sweet, hansome, oh sooo loved SON was placed in our arms forever. These past two years have been a blast! We could not imagine life without this child. I thank God every day for this blessing and I pray for his birth mother in Guatemala. She, and God, have blessed us with the most amazing gift anyone can hope for~ a sweet boy to love to pieces!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't thank them enough! Jeremiah is doing so well. He can count, say his ABC's, loves to be read to, know his animals, knows his shapes, knows his colors and understands and talks sooo much! His favorite color is yellow and loves to watch Blues Clues, Dora and Elmo! He's still a little guy in size, but a very smart child! We love him so much. I cannot believe it has been two years, seems like yesterday I got the PINK call and headed to Guatemala! We will celebrate this weekend with lots of fun things and a huge ploplet (chocolate) cake, with 2 candles! Thanks for letting us share our baby! Here are July 2006, 2007, and 2008 pictures!
