Our day meeting Beck Gudeta!

This is an insane amount of pictures...
but really, 
you only meet your son/ brother for the 1st time, once.

I think we have like 872 pictures from this day.
I am not exaggerating...
It is hard to just pick a few.

at the hotel...




all of the orphanage donations that we took.
so thankful for all the people that donated these!

on the way to the orphanage...
about a 2 hour crazy drive!




orphanage gate...
we're here!

walking in...
nervous as can be!

our first sight of him in real life!








we played a lot of ball!
he has serious skilz...
throwing, catching, kicking, dribbling
i can't make this stuff up..
 








saying goodbye... :(


We just have so many more great pics...
gotta save some for the gotcha video!

so thankful for Brittany and Aimee that captured every moment there on camera and video...

to be continued...

We are just so glad that we answered the call of adoption...
because as one of my favorite preachers said one time in one of his sermons...
you might not answer whatever it is that He's calling you to do...
and the kingdom is gonna go on...
but YOU will be the one who misses out on the joy.

SO glad we didn't miss out on this joy!
SO SO glad.

He is beautiful and it is so great to watch your adoption journey unfold. How long do you have to wait to go back and bring him home?
