These next few pics are THE DAY Nico came home-- July 20, 2007! He's so itty...
This was the first week he was home...
This was his GOTCHA day last year-- showing off his new drum (his first gotcha day present.)
And here's my little man today-- we got him a harmonica.
Grandma and Grandpa sent some stickers and a new pair of shoes too... Nico's a happy little chappy.
Nick and I were thinking back over the last two years with Nico in our lives. It certainly all hasn't gone how we had imagined it would go-- in a lot of different ways. But this boy-- this precious life-- has been an amazing gift to us. God has used Nico to teach us so much-- about love and acceptance, and what FAMILY means-- in ways our biological kids simply could not have taught us.
Happy Gotcha Day Nico! There is NOTHING you could ever do to make us love you less...
