10 Months Home...

(Judah and his friend, Ben)


Since we've been home 10 months as of today, I thought I'd share 10 things about Judah and/or how he's impacted my life.

  1. I cut Judah's hair. We keep it simple. Saturday, Ryan was home with the kids. When it came time for baths, Ryan asked Judah if he wanted his hair to match Ryan's. Judah said yes. Ryan trimmed it short, lathered his head up and shaved it with a straight razor.
  2. Judah still hasn't stayed the night anywhere without mommy and daddy.
  3. He's growing again. Judah turned 3 a month ago and is now growing out of some 3t shirts.
  4. Judah used to fall right to sleep when we laid him down. He's over that now and instead is really good at pretending he's asleep.
  5. Judah is super mechanical. Future engineer maybe???
  6. Though Judah has learned to cause trouble like his siblings, he's still a really good listener at bed time.
  7. He's a joy-filled little boy.
  8. Ryan loves his complexion!
  9. His beautiful smile, big eyes and sweet smooches make me sad for his first momma but are also a good reminder to pray for her.
  10. It's because of Judah and his birth mom that Ryan and I are planning to give back to southern Ethiopia and travel to the Wolayta region in May with Friends of Orphans and Vulnerable Children (www.fovc.org). *more on this later *
