18 months

                              EIGHTEEN MONTHS WOW HOW DID THAT HAPPEN????


July 17th 2012 means 18 months ago we had our Gotcha Day with Luke! It is crazy crazy to think about it. When we look at Luke and look at his Gotcha Day photos it is hard to believe he is the same boy! He often will look at the pics of Gotcha day and say (is that me? ) We both laugh at just how much this boy has changed and blossomed! Look for yourself!

Our very first glimpse of our Luke

He was SO skinny

This is our Luke now!!! 

Our Happy Happy Boy!

Life with Luke has surely been a life changing adventure! We are so greatful to God for placing this little boy (now a young man) in our lives! We are so happy that we obeyed His call and adopted. It is a leap of Faith and a journey of a lifetime. We are at the point now and have been for awhile where it is hard to imagine what life was like before Luke came, it surely seems like he has been here always. (although there are days he will do something or moments that he does something that makes you go.. hmm  you have been home WAY too long for that to be happening hahah).

We are looking forward to another 18 months, 18 years, 38 years and the list goes on with Luke. Thank you  Lord for our precious gift that we were given.. The gift of Adoption!

                                Here are some pictures of Our Family enjoying being a family:
