~~~Enjoying Day 1 with Isaiah~~~
Can you say Christmas in June?
Foster Mamas looking over his book from the school
2 foster families, and one FOREVER FAMILY
The entire school gathered to say good-bye-these were all his teachers
He will probably out grow these clothes before he wears them out-if we can even get them all home!!
First meal with Baba and Mama
first bath at the AgoraWe have a new son sleeping in our room with us tonight. It has been an action-packed day from the beginning, to the end.
From Meeting the foster families (2) to the entire staff at his school, and saying good-bye to all of them, and being showered with gifts from his foster families, I would say it has been an emotional day for our little Isaiah.
He has gone without naps the last 3 days now, and I am surprised he made it until 8pm tonight.
His meals have been all out of whack, and when I was fixing some simple noodles and cut up weiners for supper tonight, he was all excited and could not stay away from the kitchen. I am not sure it was the best meal I have ever fixed, but it did taste good, even to us, as we have been living off McDonalds the last 3 nights.
We now have more clothes for our 3 yr old than we can carry home. And toys, my, he has had Christmas in June the last couple days.
He ended his day with an hour long bath, he is such a contented little boy, but the sight of his little pruned hands really excited him. It was a blessing to watch him fade off to sleep in my arms tonight, despite a bit of twisting and carrying on, which lasts about 10 seconds.
We are looking forward to the baby coming home with us tomorrow=I am so ready to begin life as a family of 7=we are counting down the days to our homeward bound trip next Monday.
Blessings
Chuck and Chris

Oh Chris,
CONGRATULATIONS!!! I am so sorry that I haven't commented before, but I wanted to say how happy I am to see all of you together! Such absolutely beautiful boys.
I am so happy for you!

My goodness, such a loved little boy and who wouldn't fall in love with that sweet face. Such a big day for all of you, I would imagine you are all exhausted!
So glad your baby is going to be with you tomorrow and you can begin your lives together. It seems as if the orphanage has been working hard to make the transition as easy as possible for your boys.
Don't forget you can get room service from any of the restaurants at the Agora (not just the stuff listed on the room menu) a lot of it isn't too bad price wise and at the end of an exhausting day it can be a relief not to have to organize dinner.
Loving all the photos and sending you all good wishes for things to go well tomorrow.
Yay! Congrats! He looks so sweet in that tub and falling asleep in your arms, what a wonderful way to end the day. Nice to see the love showered on him by the foster families and staff.
What a happy day you have had. I am so happy for you. What a lovely and kind demonstration of all the love he has been receiving. It warms my heart. Enjoy your 1 and only night with 4 children. I am looking forward to tomorrow. Sleep well:)
I am so happy to see him with you. Looks like he has had a ton of love. I didn't realize that they had separate gotcha days. That makes so much sense. As the older brother, he probably needed that time alone with you before baby brother arrives. Congratulations on the additions to your already beautiful family!

What fabulous pictures you have with all the people who've cared so much for him! And now he's all yours! Congrats!
Great picture for you and Isaiah to have forever. It is obvious he is loved by all. Congratulations on your Gotcha day! Can't wait until tomorrow and you will have both your boys. This is so wonderful!
Oh Chris he is so beautiful!!!!So Glad to see one little guy in your arms. Tomorrow will be baby. So happy that things have gone so well today. Hope tomorrow is just as great....
Congrats!
This is so exciting! Thank you so much for writing about this and sending the pictures. It is truly an inspiration, and please know that the Lord is using it to help "prod" others along this path as well.
Oh my, what a day! Congrats
WOW !!!!! So exciting I am here with Goose Bumps all over. Everyone looks so happy and Isaiah is so adorable. I can't wait to see everyone. Bet you can't wait to get the little one with you too.So anxious to meet my new Nephews. Take care and see you soon.
Love, Jan
