10 months!

This month has been a month of fun summer activities. We've visited the art museum, swam a lot, , visited the fire station, and had fun with friends. We also enjoyed 2 fun visitors: Caleb, Madison, and Brandi Smith, and Uncle John!  Nik continues to learn more and more English and continues to be a fun and happy 4 year old!  He is such a blessing to our family.

Dinner at Benijanas!  Nik loves to eat and watching our food get cooked was a lot of fun!

Its been 1 year!

Wow! It is amazing to me that it is one year ago today that Brent and I met Nik for the first time.  Read about The meeting to revisit our thoughts and feelings that day.  What a difference a year can make.  The somewhat apprehensive, yet lovable little boy is now an energetic, happy, and playful 4 year old American boy.  Below are pictures of us with him when we met him on August 6, 2012 and a picture of me with him this morning... I even wore the same shirt in honor of our anniversary!



Nik was a little scared of us at first...



But, he was quickly interested in toys we brought with us.



Holding my hand for the first time...

All smiles!
