A much needed update

Wow 4 months since my last update. Since then Joshua had his surgery and did awesome and is fully recovered. Jake had his adenoids removed and tubes reinserted last week. He struggled with croup and some breathing issues brought on by intubation but is doing good now. Life is really good and Joshua just fits in so well with our family. Truly it is how I imagined it almost a year ago when I said to my husband that he was our son.

Yes it has almost been a full year till this blog was started and when we officially committed to bringing our little boy home.  I get choked up remembering all the kind thoughts, words and deeds of family, friends and strangers who made this whole thing possible. I am not sure how many people still visit my blog since I have become such a lax blogger but there are no words that I could utter that would truly convey what you have done for my family.  My heart sings with joy every time Joshua looks at me with his beautiful blue eyes, every smile that he gives us, every kiss he plants on us and just the feeling of him sleeping in my arms brings total happiness.

Today would have been my sisters 45th birthday. Today as I looked at Joshua, I felt so bad that she never met him. How she would have just fallen for him instantly. He is just that little boy who loves to cuddle and Angie was an aunt that would gladly cuddle with her nephews. I miss her so very much but know that she is looking down and smiling on all of us.

I don't want to bog down this post with too many more words because most of you who still follow would rather see in pictures how our guy is doing so pictures you will get!
