Six months....

First few days in Ethiopia 6 months ago...

...and now 6 months later.

Can you believe it...Isaac has been an Atwood for 6 months.

It is had to look back and him not be a part of our family. Although when I do sit a reflect back over all that has occurred in the past six it is astonishing.

Isaac started off in pictures as this little boy who we were told was timid to strangers and did not like smiling for the camera. Then comes the long hard three weeks of utter shock and lots o tears.

But since that time, he has blossomed into the most lovable, happy kiddo. He has the best smile. It just lights up his whole face. To watch him run is to precious. He has this great twist and whole body action. I laugh nearly every time. I just can't help those little things. He is my big helper. He loves to put away shoes and toys, help with the laundry, and most of all be where ever cooking is happening.

It has been great to reflect even over my own changes this time around. He definitely is the second child. I can tell it in nearly every aspect. I have to remind myself to take pictures. He doesn't get carried on my hip 14/7 like someone else I know. I keep telling people, "My kids not going to know any nursery rhymes."eeekkkkk! He drinks out of a cup and with big people utensils. And you all may be saying, "that's great" but you have to know what a lurker, spoiler, do everything for you kinda mother i was with my first. They will be so different. What am I saying they already are night and day.

Isaac will be two next month and though I know I missed out on so much of the first of his precious life I am so thankful he is here now. We will get many more birthdays, laughs, tears, scraps, hold yous, I love yous and I will treasure every one. I thank my God for those moments and for giving us a heart for orphans, just like the heart He has for us as sons and daughters in need of a Savior and Father.

Hanna brought us a Snapping turtle.

Trev went outside after the rain & wind had stopped that tropical storm Hanna brought us and found a snapping turtle. Watch Trevor trying to get the turtle to a new home. BTW, Micah was inside no were near the turtle and Isaac was in my arms watching very nervously as i got it all on video.

First Day of Kindergarten

First day of school.

Ready to go and so over pictures.

Putting his bag in his cubbie/bin.

Mrs. Alana helping them go through their checklist before entering the classroom.

Yes, my little boy is growing up. He started K on Wednesday. He was so excited not at all (in appearance) nervous. Enjoy pictures of the first day. He goes to a half day licensed K which we were so grateful to find and get him into. Give me (and MICAH) one more year before we start the public school system. Which he can then go to K again or start 1st grade. Great options.
