Got Day

Yesterday, was Jesse's Got Day!!! This means that one year ago yesterday we brought Jesse home. I cannot believe that it has already been a year and then I cannot remember a time without our sweet little boy. We have heard other adoptive families talk about their children's Got Days. Mya's Got Day is the day after her birthday, we have always said "It is Mya's Got Day today" but never really celebrated it. It has been very different with Jesse, because we didn't know that Jesse was going to be apart of our family until Jesse's Got Day. I LOVE Jesse's birthday and get so excited for it, but one year ago yesterday to me was the day that I finally got to be in Jesse's life! It feels like just yesterday that my caseworker called me to tell us that we had been chosen to adopt again and that we needed to be at the agency at 7 o'clock that evening. I remember Mya was taking her nap and I was talking on the phone to Scott when I noticed that our caseworker was calling on the other line. I remember our caseworker explaining that the baby was 5 months old and if we were okay with that. And then she told me that his name was Jesse, I started to cry, I knew that this was our little boy. After running around to find gifts, buying diapers and formula, meeting and visiting with Jesse's birth mother, we were finally able to have a few minutes alone with Jesse. It was an emotional moment holding Jesse for the first time. Jesse took a little while to get to our family but we could not be happier that he is here now. We love you Jesse!!

Mya loved Jesse from the moment the I told her about her little brother.

Isn't he just the cutest little boy that you have ever seen?

This is Jesse's new game, climbing on my bench and then sliding off the side.

Mya took this picture yesterday, she loves to take pictures!!!

Maybe Mya will be a photographer one day.

Playing with his ball!
