One year ago today we met Nathanael for the first time...!

Honestly, I can't believe it was a year ago today, that we finally met this beautiful, sweet little baby boy! I can't still feel all of the emotions as I think back on this day. So nervous, anxious and excited all at the same time!

Our plane landed early in Ethiopia that morning. As soon as we got to our guest house we were ready to go see our baby boy. On the way there, I almost got sick.....the driving in Ethiopia is CRAZY, scared me to death, I didn't think we were going to make it to get to see Nathanael! LOL (But we did and I got used to the driving after a day or two! Shew!)

We went straight into this little house that was home to so many kids that were happile waiting for their families to come too! Nathanael was in the Room #2 for babies. The nanny took us to him and he was fast asleep, empty bottle still in his mouth, sticking straight up in the air! I wanted to just grab him and kiss and squeeze him but, I didn't want to startle him. The nanny tried for a few minutes to get him to wake up which seemed like forever to us! He finally woke up, all smiles! She picked him up for a second and then handed him to me; or maybe I just took him! LOL It was the best moment of my life! I know a lot of people don't believe in "love at first sight" but, I do! From the moment I first held him in my arms, my heart melted and I knew I was going to love this child forever to the moon and back!
