Our Journey to Bring Our Son Home . . .

Adoption Day



Today we received our official adoption certificate. After a short ride to the Registrar's office and lunch, we attempted a nap again. We both laid down on a bed and Brett crawled up too. He immediately began sucking his finger, indicating he was tired, but soon spotted Thomas the Train on the floor and was down again. The good news is we had fun playing. We ended our afternoon with none other than a trip to Wal-Mart for supplies and drinks. Brett fell asleep on the bus ride and missed most of the excitement. Interesting to see the raw, unwrapped chicken on the ice tables for shoppers to pick up and the exotic dishes in the deli window. Most of the meats include either the head or feet still attached not to mention the entire pig hanging in the open air. Yummy!
It is near impossible not to fall in love with this little guy. He seems to capture the hearts of many with his smile and giggles. We ended our day with some PB&J and noodles in our room. Of course a bath followed and we pray for another great night of sleep.

Another wonderful post! And I must say Brett looks very handsome in his outfit! ;-) I love the shot of him napping on Cindy's shoulder, entitled "worn out". What can be more soothing than being held by mommy or daddy? It brought a big smile to my face. Sleep tight, Boltons!

You are one cute boy, Brett Bolton!!! We cannot wait to meet with you and spend lots of time playing. Addison climbed the dresser yesterday - what are we going to do with you mischievious boys? For now we'll just have to love you a lot and make sure our insurance premiums are current!

See you on Skype soon!

But why is it not a ladder??? We spent many months pulling our climbing daughter off of everything...I was always amazed at the things she could turn into a ladder!

And Thomas the train had the same affect on my boys when they were younger!

Loved the pictures - Brett looks so handsome in his outfit...love the plaid shorts!

Aren't boys just hilarious? Everything's a jungle gym. Brett's obviously so happy, it's going to be a joy meeting him. The girls aren't quite outnumbered yet! :)
