On Thursday Sept. 9th, we flew home with a toddler who was an adorable stranger. Today he's one of the crew and you'd really never ever guess he's only been home with us for 1 year. In many ways it seems he's always been here. In other ways, I still can't believe how the time has flown. Certainly, this year has been a wild one. Adopting an almost 2yr old boy from the other side of the world kinda rocks your family's balance for a while and presents challenges :)
He's changed so much. From a terrified, unruly, very babyish little boy who didn't know how to eat real food.....to a super duper smart, funny, party animal kid who never ever ever stops talking or singing!!
I must say a HUGE thank you to our family and friends for praying, for donating money to help with his adoption fees, to the Murphy family for your steadfast prayers, to Dillon International--you guys are not just a fabulous adoption agency, but truly our extended family. And finally, to our Almighty God for putting the orphan on our heart, for saving Hudson Lee just for us, for enlarging our tents and giving us increase!!! So, 4 kids--I "think" we are done. Who's next--wanna jump in on this blessing???
Happy Gotcha Day Hudson! You are such a blessing to your family.
