And Now We Are Four

On March 23, 2018 we met our son for the very first time. Yes, our SON. Evelyn is a big sister and we are parents once again, this time to a beautiful little boy! After a very brief but very tumultuous 48-hour tornado of emotion and uncertainty, we brought our 2nd child home on my husband's birthday and finalized his adoption last month. Our Davis turned three months old yesterday, and life has a shine to it that has been missing for far too long. 

So much of the past three months has seemed absolutely surreal - in my heart of hearts, I had become so skeptical of our ever parenting a living child. That dream was beginning to slip further and further away...and then...

The phone rang on a Wednesday. A child had been born the day before, a baby boy. Were we interested? The next day, Thursday, we received word that we'd been chosen. What followed was what could only be described as a roller coaster but in the end, he was meant to be ours, and we were meant to be his. The 4th member of our family had arrived and he was perfect. Today, he is healthy, thriving and such a joy. His smile melts our hearts and his little chirps of delight are like sweet music to our ears. 

Welcome, Davis! You are loved, you are loved, you are loved and we are so VERY glad you're here!!
