Referralversary!


I'm a tad late on this......but I don't want to forget. Yesterday was Silas' referralversary, I always get that and his court date mixed up, they are one month and one day off from each other. We have so many "anniversaries" in such a short period of time we don't celebrate them all in huge ways but we do talk about them! We have chosen our forever family day as our big celebration day and that's in February. :)

None the less what a difference three years makes and we don't want to forget to blog about it!

Then
Now

I love that our referral email can still be found in my gmail account, it makes me smile every time I run across it.

Silas is amazing, a true joy, such an incredible blessing to our family and we're so humbled that God called us to be his parents. Such a gift, honored that we get to be called his mom and dad.

We love you Silas!


Just for fun or if you haven't seen this little video......Silas' famous "first call" in the Chicago airport. :)
