Drew got his package yesterday so Karen at New Day sent us several pictures of him opening it and checking it all out. I cannot believe how much older he looks in these pictures. It is so hard to imagine that he and Mylee are only 24 days apart (her being older). We cannot wait to get him home. Especially Gabe who asks daily if we can go get his brother. Enjoy the pictures!
Very cool Mandi! I love that third picture of Drew. It looks like he is looking up at the camera at YOU saying "I love you Mom, and I know you're coming."
Mandi, How great to get all those pictures of Drew and the gifts you sent him. The one of him holding the picture his sister made for him brought tears to my eyes.
Love it!!! What a sweetheart! And you're right...he is definitely growing up! He's starting to lose some of that "baby face" and look like a big boy now. Sniff...sniff. :)
Oh how cute!! It's such a blessing to be able to send gifts and know that our children will get them...and then to have the photos of them opening!!...such a gift! :)
We sent our first package EVER along with Kelly (Nathan's new mama) who will be at New Day tomorrow. Karen said she will send photos of Khloe opening it, so we are so excited! We couldn't send a photo album yet (bummer!) as our agency is pretty strict about that stuff, but we will be able to send it soon now that we are finally DTC!! :) I'm just thankful that they let us send the rest of her gift with Kelly! Such a blessing!!
Drew is getting SO big, and I agree with Tara that he is beginning to loose that 'baby face' of his... still as cute as a button, though. I just wanna kiss those cheeks of his!! ;)
My name is Mandi and my husband Matt and I have been married 20 years. We are so fortunate to have been blessed with 3 biological children, Blake, Emma, and Gabe. Adoption has been something I wanted to do as long as I could remember. In 2008 we turned a dream into a reality when we brought home Mylee. What I thought was just going to be a once in a lifetime thing, has turned into so much more. I knew when I left China with Mylee I would return. In 2010 we welcomed Andrew and Jaxon and in 2012 we welcomed Kalia. We are currently on a race against the clock to add the newest member to our family. He will turn 14 on May 21, so we have less than 3 months to be in China. As with every adoption, we have let God take control and know that he is in control of this one as well.
A child sat on Jesus' lap in the splendor of heaven. The child asked, "Is it time?"Jesus parted the clouds, looked and said,"No, not yet child." The child asked "When will it be time?"Jesus replied, "When lessons are learned,hardships endured, and loneliness lived,then it will be time." Time passed. The child asked, "Is it time?"Jesus parted the clouds, looked and said,"No, not yet child." The child asked, "When will it be time?"Jesus replied, "When maturity is reached,self-worth affirmed and spirits strengthened, then it will be time." Time passed. The child asked, "Is it time?"Jesus parted the clouds, looked and said, "Their love is strong and their hearts are open.Yes, now it is time-Your parents are ready."~author unknown
