One year ago we entered new and uncharted territory. Bean came into our lives, and by this time last year he was staying with us nearly full time. He would have an odd weekend here and there with grandparents, but generally speaking his time was spent with us. We loved having him, the boys loved having him here.... the fact is, WE JUST LOVED HIM! And soon an image or a vision of how our lives would look in a year or two seemed to include him... hearing his first words, being their for his first steps... all those things a parent looks forward to... all those things we had never experienced we thought would be wrapped up in his entrance into our family.

Then, as do so many times in our lives, things changed. The court sent him back to his bio-parents and we were left wondering when we would ever get to spend time with him. We were heart broken, the boys were heart broken, and we worried... still do.
Fast forward a year...

And while I thought this would be how our family looked at this time, things change... and for a fleeting day we got to look like this:

He's so cute...and about the size of our little guy, huh? How are you feeling now that he's left? Praying for Bean always.
Cute kid. And I see that one of yours is a fan of the bunny ears too (or the peace sign?). CDS can't resist throwing some ears in just about every picture.
