One Year

It is hard to believe that one year ago today we were in Korea waiting to bring our son home. Time has gone by so fast and yet it feels like Tyler has always been here with us. I guess he was always here, we had just held him closely in our hearts for a very long time ... we just had not met him yet!

Tyler is an amazing little guy! Everyday he surprises us with something new. He is smart as a whip and boy does he a personality! He loves to read books, loves to dance and sing, he is crazy about sharks and screams when he sees any big machine driving down the street - bus, dump truck, fire truck, tow truck ... you get the picture.

One year ago today we were walking down the street in Seoul.

We have waited what seemed like forever to finally meet our beautiful son. To bring him home was an answer to prayer.

As I was looking through all the pictures we took of our time in Korea I could not help but remember all of the emotions surrounding this very important day.

We were SO excited and VERY nervous but also extremely sad. It sounds crazy but it was just that kind of day.

So very excited to finally meet and hold our son. To begin our journey home as a family was an answer to prayer.

Very nervous ... did I remember everything, are we going to be late, are we going the right direction, are you sure this was the everything, and oh, I'm going to be a mommy!

Extremely sad because we had to say goodbye to an amazing family! A woman that played such a big role in our son's life. A woman that I could never express just how grateful we were for all of the love and care she gave our son! All I could do was hug her and cry!

WE are the lucky ones!! Tyler has truly been a blessing from God ... no doubt!

One year ago today ... Our Family Forever Day!!
