This is the very moment when the nanny at Solomon's orphanage picked him up out of his little bed... he smiled and said 'Da-deeee'... just as if he knew all along that his Daddy had arrived to get him!
...first touch...instantly bonded
Sisters Madison and Adeline went to Ethiopia with Montie to get little Solomon... here they are feeding him his bowl of 'mush'...
He was a happy little guy, even though he was quite sick and couldn't hold any food in!
Forever Family at the airport ....
Home at last....
Sister Esther already with her bossy tone!!
...but lots of laughs and giggles too!!
First steps...
wanting his Da-Deeeee!!
First Birthday ~ February 27, 2009 ~ with his owl cake.... still loves owls!
Our handsome little guy is growing up... full of personality... a funny little guy... still loving his Da-Deee the VERY most!!
The name It's Poppy Dip means "everything is good''... it's an expression that our little Solomon used to say (age 2!) when he was happy and it was good!!
Has your heart seen?
...once our eyes are opened, we can't pretend we don't know what to do. God who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows that we know, and holds us responsible to act..... Prov. 24:12
