What an amazing, special, emotional, lovely month this has been. We have had something to celebrate- sometimes multiple things each week! First Mothers Day, Brad's Birthday. Brads Dissertation Defense. Our 7 year Anniversary. The Adoption Finalization. Brad's Post Doc for next year and the most precious moment of all- the Oquirrh Mountain Temple Sealing. God has watched over us and blessings poured forth this month.
My first Mother's Day- I love my sleeping, peaceful boys. Most especially my brown eyed little man.
Jefferson loves his Grandparents.
We celebrated Brad's 35th birthday at a Karaoke place. I sang "Lets Hear it for the Boy" for him with my friends. Brad defended and passed his dissertation and we celebrated with some friends at Ruth Chris Steakhouse. Mmmmm so good. Brad was given a special Post Doc position at the U of U next year. He will be publishing his research and organizing a conference- hopefully in Belgium.
Jefferson has been eating all sorts of vegetables, fruits, and even beans. He is liking real food- though he does make some funny faces the first time he tastes something new. His favorite so far is peas and avocado.
We found time to go to the Zoo with Dixie, and Jefferson was in awe with the bird show, and liked but then got scared on the Carousel.
Jefferson is 6 months- sitting up, sleeping through the night, and exploring everything with his mouth.
We were able to finalize the adoption and had our special sealing in the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. So even though in our hearts he was always ours, now he is officially ours by the State law and by God's law. What a special month this will always be. May- the month we officially became a family.
