SWEET AND RAMBUNCTIOUS!!

Sorry we did not update the blog yesterday. We had a big day of shopping and we were all pooped and went to bed early. Brooke had a blast finding lots of bargains and the best part of the day, was when we found a Papa John's Pizza which was delicious. Sophie has been a great big sister watching out for him and being patient with him. Let's just say we have been seeing more of his personality. My gratitude goes out to all of our friends who have prayed for a rambunctious boy....your prayers have been answered. We are definitely going to need a time-out chair. To all of my Friday lunch ladies, no more mellow lunches at McDonald's. Ha! All kidding aside, we have prayed for a sweet little boy that is all boy and God has given us the desires of our heart. Just hope we can make it through, he is wide open. Collin is still much a papa's boy, but is making strides with us all. We went to the zoo on Thursday as you will see some pictures, then we went to a museum and Collin wanted to help the guide point to pictures. We have had a few more silent tears, but over all he is doing wonderful. Yesterday when he cried, Sophie said, "Stop it! You're making tears come from my eyeballs too!" Such compassion. Still struggling with jetlag and only sleeping 5 hours a night. This is for the birds. Please continue praying for our little man's adjustment. Even though we have only had him four days, he has always been our's, we just had to wait almost 26 years to get him. Thank you Lord for your blessings.
