Family Photo Shoot

On March 8th, two months and a day from our Gotcha Day, we had our first family photo made.  It was an Easter theme.  Sadly, this is the day that Zac injured his finger.  But even in our grief, we can't ignore how happy and beautiful our little family is in these wonderful pictures.  We are so blessed to have Zac home!  He is a smart, handsome little boy with an amazingly resilient character!

Today, April 6th, we're a day shy of our 3 month anniversary.  Zac's sleeping patterns are getting better, but still remains a challenge.  He explores his new world at such an intense level that we really have to follow him around constantly.  Zac is still learning things that most (almost) 2-year-olds have mastered by this time, simply because he was never exposed to them.  We believe that he was well-cared-for, but obviously sheltered.  So he's very curious, but hasn't been given the tender corrections that parents use to teach and condition their little ones.  Maybe his finger was a shot across the bow, a warning for us to be ever vigilant.  He's such a smart boy.  He loves cause and effect, and is quick to figure things out.  He's still not talking a lot, but the number of words he understands is incredible, and growing every day.  Thanks everyone for your thoughts, prayers and kind words during the past few weeks.  We do believe that God has lifted our family up through all this, and we've truly felt your prayers.  

God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way,
though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea,
though its waters roar and foam,
though the mountains tremble at its swelling. 
Psalm 46:1-3 ESV
