Gotcha Day!

Today has been a great day and an answer to many prayers. We got Nathan (Guohao) today, and he was waiting for his new family. We will call him Guohao in China, and then introduce him to his American name once we are back at home. He got the album that we sent him in January, and you can tell that he has been looking at it often. The director of the foster care system was there and told us that he was counting down the days on the calendar on when he would meet us. When the director asked him if he was excited to meet his family, he said, "I already know them." He had been looking at the pictures so much that he felt like he knew us. Now if that doesn't melt a momma's heart! He is a gentle and caring, and we couldn't be happier with our precious boy. He is attaching very quickly with us.

He wanted a hamburger, so we went out to dinner, and he ate the whole thing! He also ate a lot of fries and drank a carton of milk. He is very independent and smart. And he cleans up after himself.

He loves all of his toys, and can count to ten in English and knows the alphabet. He knows the words apple, mother, father, and bed. He is very good at coloring.

When we walk around, he grabs for each of our hands. So precious.

He recently fell at school, so he has a boo boo by his eye.

We will post more tomorrow. Thanks everyone for your support and prayers. We are just beaming with joy.
