My first official "Father's Day"


So this is it! My (Mike, if you couldn't tell from the title!) first Father's Day with my boy! I really enjoy coming home each evening and having Bedilu reach out his arms and yell (almost at the top of his lungs) a joyful greeting. He truly is a gift from God, and has made my life even better. Brenda is doing a great job here at home, even though she will tell you that it doesn't seem like she gets much done while he's up, she keeps this place running! Bedilu is adjusting to life in Canada, and getting really used to the run of the house! I can hardly remember the very cautious boy that we first met, but I'm glad he has achieved a level of comfort with us that allows him to explore, knowing that we are not too far away if he needs us. I know this is "Father's Day", but I'd like to celebrate my "Family Day" everyday!

Happy Father's Day Mike!!! I remember those days so well. Seeing your son become comfortable in his home and grow to trust you and look forward to you coming home is a gift we never take for granted. Enjoy each step. Happy Father's Day!

P.S. Tell Brenda she's doing a better job then she gives herself credit for. A happy child who got to play with mommy all day is more important than a swept floor or washed dishes. Love to all three of you. xo

So glad that you guys are a family now. Many prayers went out for that over the past years and seeing pictures like this just makes me smile.

Thinking about you all and hoping that the transition to being a family of 3 is going well...
