February 5th was our GOTCHA DAY, Morelson is home!

 
 FEEDING THE STINGRAY'S AT THE AQUARIUM

When an event SO big has taken two years and a tragic earthquake to come to a happy ending  it's hard to find the words to summarize how you feel.  Our little boy is home for good!  The strength and perseverance that it took the two weeks prior to our big day is truly something that only Rob and I can ever really know.  It was a bonding experience like no other.  The two of us shared a gamut of emotions that no one should have to go through in such a short period.  Well more on that later........again our little boy is home!  Morelson is a treasure like no other.  He entered the U.S. with a smile and it hasn't left his face yet!  He could be the poster child for fun loving, inquisitive, infectious laughing "grab life by the horns" kinda boy!  Our family will never be the same and we wouldn't want it any other way!

Week One Run Down:
1. Bananas must be a super food, Morelson has put away over 55 of them in 7 days!
2. The "Machine" is a huge hit, there is NO keeping this boy home he loves to go, go, go!
3. Snow is acceptable, we can't say we love it yet, but it's all good in small doses.
4. School rocks!  M loves the kids, the routine, the songs, the activities and writing his name.
5. Bedtime not so much, other than the nightly bath going to bed is the day's low point.
6. A Big brother and two sister's are the best, ahh...so many people to shower me with attention!
7. Listening to music and dancing to an ipod comes first, lego building second.
8. Morelson has full blown Creole conversations ALL DAY long, I honestly think we have learned more Creole in a week than I ever thought I could learn!
9. The dreaded dog is now a good buddy!
10. Morelson laughs and giggles more than tickle me Elmo, MUCH MORE!
