Joshua's Family Day!

June 6, 2010
Joshua came home!





To me, June 6, 2010 was THE BEST day in our whole adoption process. Because on June 6, 2010 I walked off a plane with our Joshua in my arms and into the waiting arms of his daddy and siblings. It is the day we became a FAMILY of 7!

Our family June 2011
WOW!! I am so glad that our kids are aging faster than we are!
They have changed so much in a year!

We explained to Joshua that it was his Family Day and we wanted to celebrate! We allowed him to pick what we would have for supper and asked if there were any special place he would like to go play. To no one's surprise he chose "puppyroni pizza" and the "Firetruck Park!"


Oh, I love this boy!
Joshua was SO EXCITED that DADDY was coming to play at the park too!
(Usually daddy has to work while we play)
He took off running as fast as his legs could run when he saw daddy drive up!
Not sure who loved this hug more... Joshua or HIS daddy?!
"Joshua, I lovie puppyroni pizza best!"
Look at that grin!
This summer Joshua is able to run, jump, climb, and swing!
It makes me so happy to see him becoming wild and daring!

Midway through our park party I asked Joshua why we were at the park? He responded with a HUGE grin, "Today is MY FAMILY DAY!"

Thank you God that we have been a family of 7 for a year! Thank you for walking each day with us! Thank you for the amazing transformation that has occurred in out family this year! Thank you for knitting our family together in such a beautiful way! Thank you that we each love each other so very much! Thank you for this day of celebration and joy!
