{Six} Five Months Ago Today

It was six five months ago today, December 16th, that we saw your beautiful face for the first time


It was six five months ago today that we knew we would accept you as our son and love you forever


It was six five months ago today that we commited to be your forever family and you were no longer an orphan


It was six five months ago today that those chubby cheeks and pink sweater drew us in and our hearts were captivated


And today, we are exhausted from all of the work and shopping and preparing and the busyness of life that has absorbed all of our time over the past two weeks because we are getting ready for you to come home!!!! Over the past six five months our love has grown so deep for you and we talk about you like you have always been a part of the family. We have prayed for you many times. You have grown up a lot too and made many milestones. Within a few weeks, your life will change drastically and you don't even know it yet. We are so excited for you to join us in our crazy family. Your life will never be the same. We love you bunches, Neylan.

(Thanks Kelly for pointing out my math was wrong. It has only been 5 months, not six! My brain is totally mushy now!)
