5 Years ago...

5 years ago our lives were forever changed.
This weekend was Boo's 5th birthday which means 5 years ago exactly today she was placed in our arms by a wonderful, brave birth mother who felt that Nat  was meant to be Boo's mother.
We first saw Boo in the hospital Sat night, placement was scheduled for Monday night. (for the story  click here: http://travelingtheroadtoadoption.blogspot.com/2008/02/it-works.html)
What a wonderful time it has been. It is hard to believe it has really been that long but then Boo will come zooming into the room and say something and i just smile.
It is also hard to remember what we did before Boo.
Each of my kids are special and wonderful and Boo just completes our unique family make up.

Every night as Boo and I sing our night time songs I tell her thanks for letting me be her dad. (She usually replies "You're welcome silly boy"

I am so grateful for Jess (Boo's birth mom and her family)
I am so grateful that I have a job that allows Nat to be a stay at home mom and that she loves doing it.

Today Boo had her yearly check up and the Doctor once more confirmed that she is just perfect.
