A Perfect Night for a Party!

Thursday was Zeb's third birthday. So, last night we had a big party in the park. Our family and closest friends came to celebrate a life that was almost forgotten. But the pictures show just how loved and adored our boy actually is.





Zeb had a great time! He was held and played with every minute. He smiled. He giggled. He even proved he was meant to be a Texan, as he ate TWO platesfuls of pulled pork and baked beans.




He LOVED everyone singing "Happy Birthday" while he danced and then applauded.




He wasn't sure about the presents, but quickly found out how fun it is to rip off paper and see what's inside.








Then he had to play peek-a-boo in the gift bag!



We found a treasure when we found "Wilson" on Reece's Rainbow. And we enjoyed doting on him and celebrating his life last night. Every day is a blessing. I pray I don't ever take that for granted.


We Love You, Zebadiah!
Happy Birthday!

Welcome Home!

I wanted to check in and see how you guys are doing. Have you joined the After the Rainbow group yet? I can't always keep track of people's names and their usernames so I'm sorry if I missed you there! If you're not a part yet please email me and I'll send you an invite. Also, please don't hesitate to ask if I can do anything to help you as you settle in. Adoption is a beautiful thing but it can also be challenging! Sometimes it helps to talk to someone who has "been there".

Blessings,
