One year later - Jaxie's Day

One year ago I walked into the civil affairs office in Nanjing China - feeling a little disoriented, and missing my hubby (who was home with our daughter) like crazy. It was a big room, and there were a few children there already, but I didn't see Jackson. Then I noticed a little boy sitting peacefully with his nanny, partially hidden behind a wooden partition. It. was. him. [insert tears of joy here] :)

He came to me with no reservations what-so-ever. We had a difficult beginning in China, getting to know each other, Jackson grieving, and physically not feeling all that great. But, from the minute we got home he just settled right in.

He is soooooooooo sweet, has a great sense of humor, and is very charming. He has grown 7 inches and gained almost 10 pounds. He has a huge vocabulary now and is making great strides in speech therapy. He loves trains, swimming, and books. We are truly blessed beyond measure to have Jackson Reece TaoChuan in our life.
