A Whirlwind Summer

A LOT has happened since my last post.  Dan and I got back on the adoption list in February (I've added our updated letter, written in January to the right in the sidebar); which was just in time because on April 4th we were approached by a birthmother who wished to place her baby boy with us!!

Our sweet boy was born on June 18, 2012.  We were priveleged to watch him have his first bath and spend some time with him only hours after he was born. The next morning we signed paperwork, took our little Monkey Boy home and became parents!


We have been so blessed and lots of prayers were answered when our little Monkey Boy came into our lives.




Then, two weeks later, my (Joanna's) brother's wife had a baby girl and a few weeks later my other brother was married.  Monkey Boy got a cousin and a new aunt before he was two months old!  Needless to say, we had a busy summer.




Monkey Boy will be four months on Thursday and he has grown a ton! He's a little chunk, which is so adorable (even when getting a dead arm from holding him)!  He's all boy.  He loves to spit--just to be silly--and his bathtime leaves everyone wet.





We recently returned from a fun vacation in California where we went to Disneyland and the Aquarium.  Monkey Boy had so much fun riding on rides and looking at the fish, though the plane rides were another story, but we survived.




































We are so grateful to Monkey Boy's birthmother. We love her and are so happy that she decided to place her baby with us. After a long wait, Dan and I are finally expanding our family and we look forward to the day when Monkey Boy becomes a big brother!
