Day one - Home

This morning, En Yang came into the hallway around 7:30. We saw him peeking out. I escorted him into the bbathroom and then he came into my room to watch tv and cuddle (Heath and Richie had left for a football scrimmage). Later in the day, we had breakfast, played with some toys and had a family sword fight (his favorite thing). After that, the sun came out so I took them outside onto the trampoline. What a ball he had. He had never been on one before so he wasn't sure what to do but once he saw Jake do it, he did it too. Also the water/ice machine on the refrigerator also is new to him. He was so shocked and began to laugh when he saw how it worked. What a personality he has! He is always laughing, singing, and smiling.

Hi, Sue! I'm finally reading your blog! Shocking, I know. ;-)

He was actually on a trampoline several times last summer when he stayed with us. Some friends of ours, who also hosted a child, have a tramp, and we were at their house quite a bit during those five weeks. Guess he forgot -- he went through a lot of changes in the past year!

Oh, and we took him to a non-fast-food restaurant as well. ;-) Twice, I think. Both buffet-style, so nothing fancy.

Okay, back to reading!

Hi Sue and family,

I ditto Anne Mullady's comment "Your joy is overwhelming and as I was reading it, it also brought tears to my eyes". How wonderful and fulfilling it must feel to share your love with En-Yang and to give him a wonderful family to love and to be loved. God Bless all of you and know that you are a very special family and how blessed all of you are to have one another. I look forward to reading more from your Blog! This whole story is just so touching....
