So much to be thankful for!

It's snow! Tarun had so much fun playing in the snow for the first time! He had a little trouble staying on his feet with the big heavy coat on though. He really didn't want to come in but his big sisters were cold so we bribed him with some hot chocolate. He thought it was very yummy and drank the whole cup full!

Tarun had to have tubes put in his ears because he had fluid in them and the Doctor was concerned that it would cause more difficulty with him learning English. He was such a trooper and what a cutie in his little hospital gown. He also enjoyed the trip to the car in the wagon. Even mustered up a little smile for the picture! Today you would hardly even know that he had surgery.

Today we celebrate Tarun's first Thanksgiving and we have so much to be thankful for. We praise God for His incredible blessing of giving us Tarun! Oh the joy that he has brought to our home! We are so thankful that God chose us to be his forever family!

Fall Fun

Oh, it's those beautiful smiles that warm my heart each day! He is getting stronger all the time. It's amazing that he has gone from only taking a couple of steps and falling to just about running all over the house. His new word for the fall is "pun-tin"(pumpkin) and he loved going trick or treating. Now he's learned another word, "cany"(candy) which is always followed by a huge smile!
The girls in the picture with Tarun are his friends that have also been adopted from India. The older girls are from the same orphanage as he is from. They have had a lot of fun getting to know him again.
Tarun is having so much fun with his brother and sisters. He's never lacking for a playmate as we usually have to designate whose turn it is to play with him. He seems to enjoy it and not be overwhelmed by all the attention, so that is good!:) He has certainly brought great joy to our home and we are so blessed to have him in our family. Happy Fall!
