Wow, what a week it has been and I have so much to say but so little time! My little toddler is taking a break from his exploring to catch up on sleep and I would love to get a hot shower while he is doing that. But I wanted to take some time and post some pictures.
Carson is doing great! He is very much attached to Mama but will let Papa take him now and then if Mama is in sight. He has a strong sparkling personality with incredible laughter and has already shown us a few terrific temper tantrums when he doesn't get what he wants. We stayed with a wonderful couple in Haiti who are also adopting a child, and after just a few days with Carson, Chris said to us, "Well, you better just go buy Dobson's Strong Willed Child book now!" Yes, I think we will have our hands full with this one. :)
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU -- to everyone who has been supporting us and loving us and encouraging us. Thank you to everyone who helped out with Caden and Cali while we were gone, filled our fridge with food and greeted us with smiles and gifts and tears at the airport. Thank you in advance to everyone who couldn't be there at the airport, for loving and accepting Carson, because I know that you do and can't wait to meet him!
Okay, okay, so here's the fun part -- the pictures!
Much love ~ Elizabeth
So thankful for safe travels. He is really a cutie Elizabeth, what a blessing! I came to your blog hoping for an update, but not expecting to hear that you were home already!
