"The Call"

On Monday July 30, 2012 Jesse and I received the call from Betty our caseworker. She started describing Micah's birth mom and her history. She sounded perfect. The next words she said were words we will never forget. "Can you come and get him Friday?" Our mouths dropped. We were speechless. We were going to be parents of 2 in 4 days. We didn't have anything for a boy. I still can't believe you are a boy. So exciting!! God has blessed us with great friends that totally took care of us and provided everything we needed. Turns out you really don't need as much as you think you need for a baby. Diapers, formula, and a few outfits. We knew if we got a boy we would name him Micah. The transitional care mom sent us a picture of you and this was the first one. We can not believe we will be holding you in 4 days.   

Disney Land California

What an amazing family vacation. We had more fun than we really thought we could have at Disney Land.  Faith was in love with all the princess everything and we had just as much fun watching her and riding all the rides we could ride. One of my favorites was the Toy Story ride. It was the longest line we waited in but so worth it. We were so lucky to have Corrie there and Matt joined us on one of the days. Faith got to meet Tinker Bell and Cinderella. We will never forget the story of how we met Cinderella. Just ask Jesse. The fireworks at the end of the day were like a dream, really. Faith asks at least once a week if we can go back to Disney. Yes, we definitely will.

 We went to the beach where Faith got to feel the sand in her toes and see the ocean for the very first time. We went to Crystal Cove. This was a very private beach open to the public that had an amazing restaurant with the most amazing breakfast I have probably ever had. I still crave those pancakes now.
