black and white Wednesday - milestone

will snow 1 WM

will snow 2 WM

Will doing the happy dance with all the snow, it looks like he's celebrating something.

Tomorrow he will have been with our family 2 years, 6 months and 21 days.
That's one day longer than he hasn't been with us.
I think it's a milestone, especially because he wasn't a baby
 when we met him for the first time in China.

will snow 4 WM

Will has come so far.
He's genuinely happy and feels like he's an important part of our family.
We can't wait to see what the future holds for him.
The above picture sums him up to a 'T.'
Delightful, funny and joyful.

There is somehting about Will, I can't put my finger on it, but he is a precious precious boy. He makes me grin. What a beautiful celebration.

Lilah would love love love a brother that she could love, more than anything. But I'm not sure what God has in mind for our family yet.

I love how his happiness shines through in these pictures. You always capture your children beautifully.
