One month ago today at this time we were on a plane from Chicago to RDU, heading home with our new little boy.  I can hardly believe it has been a month since we have been home.  It has been a great time of getting to know Joshua, introducing him to so many special people, and incorporating him into our home and lives! 

He is growing - still small - but growing!  He is still eating everything, which is good.  I'm thankful he likes to eat and is easy to please!  It gets to the point that I just have to stop feeding him...my strategy is to feel his little belly - when it gets nice and tight, I tell him he's had enough for now! 

Today we received his medical records from Maria's Big House of Hope.  This included the surgery notes and x-rays of his hand.  I'm thankful for these!  We are also supposed to receive pictures from Maria's when they finish compiling them together.  I'm looking forward to those! 

We also received his Certificate of Citizenship in the mail today.  He was officially a citizen when we landed in the US, but now we have the actual certificate to prove it!  It still seems surreal that everything has actually taken place - we waited, anticipated it and talked about it for so long!  I am thankful that God had every detail in His hands, that everything happened in His perfect timing.  His plan was far greater than anything I could have come up with on my own.  I thank Him for His almighty hand at work in our lives.  I pray that He alone has gotten all glory for the great things He has done!

I'll try to get some more pictures up here soon!
