Adoption Day!

A year ago today, a judge in Kemerovo City, Russia, officially named us parents of Jacob! And, coincidentally, we received his Michigan Birth Certificate for Foreign Birth today (no readoption needed in our state). He is talking more and more, developing quite the vocabulary. One of his clearest words is "Donald's", which is where I took him for dinner tonight to celebrate Adoption Day. I would not have believed it possible a year ago that I could possibly be happier or love someone as much as I did our new son. A year later, I know that both of those things are possible! And, seeing Chris in his new role as "Daddy" has also made me see him in a new light, and love him even more!

Here's a cute recent picture to go along with the post - he's enjoying his new Hess truck & loader that his Great Great Aunt in Boston sent him.
