July 28th, 2008. What a GREAT day!! The day we met our 3 month old little Lucas at FANA in Bogota, Colombia.
Two years later (and every year from now on) we celebrate Gotcha Day. Why? Because as adoptive parents, sadly, we weren't there on the day he was born. I can't tell him the story. I can't tell him about pregnancy feelings or what it felt like when his birth mother gave him life on that day.
I CAN tell him about the day he entered my life. In great detail. Every child in our family will be adopted and every child will have a Gotcha Day where we can celebrate the experiences that make us unique :-)
Here are some of the sweet photos from this year!
It's amazing how well photos turn out when one bribes their child with M&M's. Just saying.
We continued on to our brunch celebration at IHOP for Lucas' favorite food- pancake/waffles. It was intense.
After a little rest and time to sleep off all those pancakes, we were off to Adventure Oasis Water Park which is always a favorite. We had yet more ice cream on the way though! Lucas was very serious while waiting, but it all turned out well in the end :-)
Ready to hit the waterslides!
