It was a wonderful moment to experience this process with him and now we can celebrate American with the rest of us!
The other great news – no more adoption paperwork! The 2 year process is complete!

Last weekend I attended my first game at the new Cowboys Stadium, the 1.2 billion dollar home financed by the city or Arlington, but mostly by owner Jerry Jones.
It took me thhhiiisss long to forget about my sentimental strongholds to Texas Stadium.
Wow!
Jerry did it. God has made many incredible things and He certainly gave Jerry (whether he knows it or not) the creative ability on this place too! It is unreal.
As long time season ticket holders I was somewhat nervous about what games would be like in this new JerryWorld. Much to my surprise, it was more than talked about. Sensory overload for sure. From the fun tailgating outside to the cushion seats, to the megaTVboard, to the concessions and bathrooms that were so numerous that there were still no lines even with 80,000 people there.
If you haven’t gone yet, get a party pass at the least and test it out for yourself. All I can say is Go Cowboys!
Over the last 4 years life has been crazy yet fun all at the same time. The sad thing about having a baby is that one day the baby becomes a small child and gone are the days of telling people “she’s 19 months” or he’s about to be “6 months”. For some reason, once they turn 2, we start reporting their ages in years.
Well, I am changing the tide. My little babies are going to be aged by months from now on. I want it back. It’s just going too fast.
“How old are they?”, I can see someone asking me down the road.
“Oh, they are 480 months,” I answer as I stand and cheer on the Cowboys Cheerleader group they made at 20 years old during a game, “Good job Chloe! Good job Sid!”
In the mean time, we enjoy the moments of them turning our world upside down! 48 months later our world is still spinning!
Yet, little did we know, this little 4 year old trapped in a 2 year old body was created to soon rule our world
BEFORE he turned two he:
– could basically count to 10
– could sing parts to almost any song he heard (including many on the radio)
– studies how anyone does anything and attempts to duplicate the act and in most cases succeeds
– can play with the Iphone
– speaks in complete sentences (he can put words together better than they can pronounce them – his brain is ahead of his tongue)
– he comprehends EVERYTHING he hears (i.e. Julie and I could be having an adult conversation about going to the mall for some reason, he will hear us talking and then ask when we are going to the mall)
– he can nearly swim and willfully and happily goes under water holding his breath
– he was running way before 18 months
– he practices going potty (I swear if we took his diaper off he would plop down on the toilet, do number two, wipe his own rear, get up and wash his hands and come out saying “Do NOT go in there!”)
In more ways than one.
