I am shaking as I attempt to type this. Words cannot explain the way we're feeling right now. I don't know that I'll ever get over seeing my children for the first time. With Addie, Ellee and now Sam, I have been overwhelmed with love for a person that you barely "know."
We're working on a video but this will have to do for now! There's so much I want to say and so much I want to share, but I just couldn't wait to show my precious son to you!
There are several things to praise the Lord for! Obviously for our adorable son that He chose for us. But also, Sam took to us wonderfully!! Our social worker made several comments about how well he did. He never cried or acted scared. He smiled and played with us! That is such a huge blessing! Also, we were told this afternoon that we get Sam Wednesday morning at 10:30!! As I said before, we knew it was likely that we wouldn't get him until we were leaving Thursday, but now we'll have a day with him before we head home. We are praising God from whom all blessings flow!
I cannot wait to get home to my girls and enjoy my family of 5!
Stay tuned because we've got a few videos coming your way!!
He is adorable!!!! Tears are flowing and I can hardly see how to type this! He is such a blessed little boy to have you as his parents. Looking forward to meeting him soon - love you all.... AJ

ReplyDeleteLove the pictures! But, I also love that you are checking to see that he shares the Brown Family affinity for strawberries! Thinking about you guys lots and praying lots.
ReplyDeleteAAAAAHHHHH!!! He is SO cute! Anna said "aawww, he is adorable- when do we get to see him." Will's response was, "He has silly hairs/ he is eating strawberries!!" (Cute responses from our almost 3 yr old...) Enjoy these precious moments and we will continue to pray for all three of you!
