The first picture we ever saw of our son, brother!
You were so little! We love you
One year ago today, I stayed home from work with a sick child and was waiting for the arrival of my mom and her best friend to come and visit when single phone call changed our life..past, present, and future. With a single sentence a voice on the other end of a phone said we have a referral for you ... a two year old little boy. What perfect timing, my mom got to see my reaction when we received, "the call" God's timing is always so perfect. The first time I laid my eyes on this little guy he was laying in bed taking a nap. He had a perfect little face, looking so peaceful and calm. I remember sitting on the couch just staring at his picture thinking this is my son. How amazing, that I am across the world from him and falling in love with someone I have never met. I kept looking at his picture trying to memorize everything about him. His name, Tariku means his story. What a perfect name his birth mother picked for him.
If you know us or read our blog you know how much our lives have changed over the past year. Caleb has blossomed from this shy, little, hesitate boy to being a strong-willed, smart, inquisitive, assertive little boy. He steals our heart with every look and re-confirms the power of love with each action. One year of knowing him has brought our family more joy than we could've ever imagined.

Yay! I love the picture... it cracks me up that they would send a picture of him sleeping! :) And I'm totally digging the sweater. I can't believe it's been a year... what a sweet sweet little boy.
