One Year Ago - GOTCHA DAY!

Today is the first anniversary of Dawson's Gotcha Day!  My, how he's changed!

One end of the civil affairs office.

 

Play area on the other end.

 

Some of the CCAI folks have received their children.

 

 

It's our turn!  There he is!

 

Tony took this as he was being handed to me.

 

 

First family pictures.

 

 

 

 

With one of the orphanage staff.  She looks like she's had a hard day already.  It must be so hard for them who know these kids!

 

 

In the van on the way to the hotel.

 

 

New clothes!

 

 

Joking around with Daddy!

 

Bonding!

 

Layers and layers of clothes....

 

...with this on top!

 

Showing us he likes to put everything in his mouth!

 

I mean EVERYTHING!

 

He hasn't stopped eating!

 

Tony put both our kids to sleep the first night.

 

You can see our Gotcha Day video here.

 

And here he is now!  He's made LOTS of progress!
