firsts
Adopting a toddler has brought much joy to our household! One of the many blessings is to witness "firsts" in his life- through his eyes. We are continually amazed at this gift we have been given. Most nights we all laugh around the dinner table and thank the Lord for the addition of Eyasu into our crazy crew! He is a crack up.
Hope you have a blessed weekend!

So precious...... Our son was 4 and a half when he came home.... oh, how I cherish each first we shared with him... His first Burrito was one of my favorites.... the concept of a Burrito just blew my little Siberian Baby's mind... hehee
enjoy....
Beautiful! Your kids are just precious! You guys are always in our prayers :)!
Although I haven't experienced it first hand YET, I couldn't agree more about toddler adoption! Eyasu's huge, beautiful smile in these pictures just warms my heart :-)
I loved seeing your sweet boy's firsts!! I am sure it is amazing to watch!!!
In just a few short weeks we will share firsts with our
2 1/2 year old!!! :)
He is just so darn cute I can't stand it...such a blessing! That boy just lights up a room!
Beautiful boy!!! Beautiful family!
Love it! Their firsts are something to treasure.
oh, he's so cute...love all those firsts, kj
One of my favorite "firsts" was his first sighting of his brothers and sisters as you burst through the doors from customs at DFW. Kristin captured that one!
So thankful for him.

Qonjo!
YES! We are thrilled to be having those "firsts" as well! When a baby has it's "firsts" like these, it doesn't remember. But toddlers WILL!!! It's so fun to see the awe and beauty threw her eyes... we are loving it!!!
Best story: while in ET another fam staying at the Bejoe had kids the same age as my boys and this fam adopted a baby. At one point my boys said they really felt sorry for these other kids. When I asked why they said, "Because their baby is so boring!!! I bet they wish they had adopted a toddler like us!!!" ;-)
I agree!! One of the BEST things about toddler adoption for sure!! Love it.
He is such a handsome boy!!! What a joy to experience his firsts. AND Thank You so much for your encouraging comments on my blog. I am truly so appreciative!!
Thanks for the updates on Eyasu. We just received our referral for a 3 1/2 year old boy. I'd love to hear more about things you've learned and resources you used to help you through the transition. We are excited .. but nervous. Amy
Oh I love those pics! He is so precious!!!
How fun to experience these first with Eyasu! I'm so excited to be adopting a toddler...can't wait for the firsts!
My girlfriend just told me about your blog this morning. My husband and I are going to Ethiopia in June on a mission trip to the Gamo people. they are an unreached people with no Bible in their language. God has been stirring our hearts toward adoption for the last few months and we are now certain He has a sibling group for us to adopt somewhere in Ethiopia. Our family has been praying for them daily. The crazy part is my husband is an Orthodontist, and we have 4 biological children as well! We're excited to be following in your footsteps! :)
I can't wait to experience those firsts!!!! :)
Eyasu is just sooooooooo ADORABLE!
He is just too precious!!!! So thankful for how the Lord has blessed you!
Such a sweet post! It's fun to experience life with our little ones. So much wonder in new experiences!
PS Eli pointed at Eyasu and said "I want to play with him!" Pretty cute :)
Emily, I am a faithful and devoted lurker, but have commented a couple times too. :-) Jana gave me your email a couple months ago and said to write and ask you about toddlers!! So I am so glad to see your post about Eyasu! Our family has just jumped into the process with Gladney. We are at church with the Goliks and Newsomes and used to be at school with the Hills...and I hear your name everywhere. Thank you for being part of what God used to draw our hearts toward adoption!
