It made me want to change his name to Zack, just to remind her I could.:) It was hard to feel like I had to play by someone else's rules, especially when I didn't even know the rules.<br /><br />Joseph sure is handsome!

For the longest time it felt like I was babysitting them even after they came home, I cannot recall how long it took before I just felt like they had been here forever. However, it feels like babysitting when you have a newborn a little too, getting used to a new person living with you, adjusting.<br /><br />Waiting with baited breath for adoption day news.Arizona mom to eighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01875806984101641881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434202048056046520.post-89525861783534618902010-06-20T21:17:13.262-07:002010-06-20T21:17:13.262-07:00My fav of course is you holding him.....love that ...My fav of course is you holding him.....love that one!

I found our time in the orphanage totally uncomfortable and in some ways difficult to bond when you have strangers poking their heads in at you screaming in a language you don't understand. We got yelled at so much, I was sure they thought I was a horrible mother. It will feel so good to have him in your custody and do things your way!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434202048056046520.post-4694698338093015292010-06-20T17:41:37.866-07:002010-06-20T17:41:37.866-07:00Charissa,

He loves it on, and even if we stick to the "no water now", he will play with the hose. He just learned how much fun it is to squirt people with the hose. <br />We (our entire family...I shared with hubby, hoping to awaken the "let's go get another one" feeling in him) LOVE your blog, and all of the pictures. Joseph looks a lot like Jacob, especially skin color. <br />Praying for you daily!<br />Mary StolzAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434202048056046520.post-438342289794398082010-06-20T16:56:09.279-07:002010-06-20T16:56:09.279-07:00Hang in there.
