All the new stuff!

Well, we've had Micah just over 1 week now and he has experienced a lot of firsts.  He has had his first bath, his first plane ride, his first spaghetti and Rice Krispies (not at the same time).  He has taken all of them in stride and keeps going.  I must admit that I find this little boy of ours adorable! :)  He definitely has a temper, just like Anju, the orphanage director, said, but who can resist that amazing little grin that just lights up his face?!  Can't wait for his first birthday coming up this week!

Praise God for blessing your family. Adoption definitely shouts the gospel to a lost world and to our own hearts.

Dr. Russel Moore has a book coming out (should be in a few months) on adoption, that should be a great blessing to your heart. I have heard him speak, teach, and write on it, and it is encouraging. You should definitely check it out. "Adopted for Life: The Priority of Adoption for Christian Families and Churches"

Happy 1st birthday to Micah! He is such a doll!!

When you get a chance can you let me know what size he is in? He looks slimmer than Simeon but I was just curious.

What a precious little boy!!! I too find it amazing that we met about a year ago and ended up traveling to get our baby boys at the same time. God has such a way of crossing the paths of life. I can't wait to talk to you guys, we will have to do a play date or something. May God continue to bless you.
Love, Robin
