646

646 days
as an orphan
without his family
waiting...

He waits no more
He has a family that adores him
(as well as a first family that we will continually honor)

He has officially surpassed his time spent in the orphanage
with the time he has spent within, and as a blessed part of, our family!

Dear Milo
We have spent almost 2 years with you, getting to know you, loving you. You have brought our family into a new dynamic, a new burst of energy. Oh the energy you bring to us! (You could tone down that energy any time you see fit, to allow your mama & daddy a chance to catch our breath!) 

We couldn't have hoped or prayed for a more perfect son than you. You have touched more hearts and lives than we ever thought possible - you've taught others what it is to see past a "special need" and find the person beyond the physical appearance. You are truly incredible with your infectious laugh and sparkle in your eyes! 

There is no obstacle that you can't overcome- you've shown us that time and again. You are destined for big things, I just know it. 

We love you to the moon & back, baby boy!!

A few of my favorite bloggers are celebrating the holiday season by reaching out to help others! This is an awesome way for all of you to get some awesome loot & help some of the orphans in China. (WIN-WIN!!)
Beginning November 25 (yep-Black Friday!). Please head over to Lisa's blog, Diana's blog, or Stephanie's blog for detailed info, a sampling of the incredible products, and an opportunity to learn about their respective charities you can donate to!
I personally can't wait to get my shopping on, while helping these most deserving kiddos!! :)
