Day 1...Sort of...

I decided it was time to start potty training Maddox.

We started a couple of weeks ago and......FAIL!

Ok, so we scratched it...

Then I decided to give it another try...

Day 1...again...

All day and even into the night and not.one.accident!

He even came to me and TOLD me that he needed to potty!!!

Am I dreaming?!

Here's to 1 day down!!!

Now....on to the LOA wait....THIS year's will be much shorter than last year's...Cause I said so ;)

CHRISTMAS IN JULY

What I received in my email tonight made me feel like a child on Christmas Day!

Feast.your.eyes...

My heart is SO full!  

I don't know how to describe how I feel when I look at her;  

I am just so honored that I get to be her forever mommy!  

Lord, help the time pass quickly to going to get her...For me AND her!

I'll be staring at these pictures for days...

and days....

and months....

and days....

One Year Ago

Last year at this time, Scotty & I were in the air flying from Beijing to Kunming China to get our precious little one.

Our family is so blessed to have Maddox!

It seems as though he's always been here!

 Wow! Just the first year of forever my little man! We thank God for you everyday!
