Easter and Spring

This past week Wes took the week off to spend some time with Luke. We took him to the zoo last Tuesday with his cousin Max for the first time. He was not very interested in the animals but loved having a picnic lunch. We did little things with him all week long and it was so much fun. We would love to have gone somewhere but Luke just gets so overstimulated it is easier to stay home and have his bed close by. Luke is doing better and better these days and is starting to break more of his orphan walls down. I may take years to get them all down but for the most part he is right on tract. I think once we realized what was happening it helped him out even more. Easter was wonderful for our family. We spent time with both of our families and Luke got to play with is cousins. It has done nothing but rain here therefore the ground has stayed in a state of mush.....I let Luke have at it in his Easter best! He found muddy puddle after muddy puddle and had a blast! Luke is a joy to be around and each day we feel more blessed that we got the opportunity to be his parents....tantrums and all!

  2. I saw your comment on the Davidson Family's blog and wanted to say hi! We live in St Charles and are adopting three little boys from Africa (2 from Uganda, 1 from Lesotho). Just wanted to connect with you as I haven't found many families in this area who have/are adopting from Africa!
