Gotcha Day #3
I can't believe it! Sunday will be the 3rd anniversary of our Gotcha Day! I spent Mother's Day that year in a hotel in Moscow... waiting to fly to Krasnoyarsk to complete our adoption. I knew motherhood would be exciting, but I had no idea that it would be the most indescribable thing I've ever experienced. I thank God everyday for bringing Jaxon to us through the miracle of adoption, but this time of year makes me even more thankful as I remember what the days leading up to that momentous occasion were like for us.
I am attaching a picture of Jaxon's first pics after we got home from Russia and a picture of him now (the writing his rendition of writing his name). Time has flown by, and I have enjoyed and will remember every minute of it! God bless, Shawna
