A Year Ago

A year ago today at 5:30 p.m. while I was making turkey tacos, we got "The Call" and saw these pictures of our son minutes later. I still remember the shock when Pam said, "I have a little boy who needs a mommy!" Our medical checklist had just been submitted and accepted 8 days prior on June 16th. It typically doesn't happen that fast, but we were open to either a boy or girl this being our first child. CCAI received a new list of Waiting Children on June 18th, my birthday...and Mu Shi Tian, now Ty Jameson MuShi, was the best present ever in that list of children waiting for forever families. We celebrated tonight with turkey tacos to remember this amazing day and amazing gift from God!

What a day. This past year has had so many wonderful moments that will forever be burned into our memories. And how ironic.....turkey tacos the night you first find out about our little Paco!

What a great story, so sweet.
We will always remember the day the stork arrived too (except we drove to Orlando to meet in person!).
Can't wait to celebrate Forever Family Day!
Happy 4th!
