A Couple of Very Special Days...

Today is a very special day in our lives! We held Zachary for the first time six months ago from today, on August 19th. It's hard to believe that he has been in our lives for only six months. He fits in so well that we cannot remember life without him. Zachary was six months and six days old when we picked him up from the orphanage. In just three short days from now, he will have been with us for the exact same amount of time that he was in the orphanage. From that day on, he will have been with us longer than in the orphanage. Although he was in a wonderful orphanage with caring nannies, it makes me so happy to think of this. What a special day that will be as well! I would say that we are going to celebrate with cake but that would just be crazy since Zachary had more cake than most during his birthday week. Instead, we will celebrate with loads of hugs and kisses for our sweet boy. Here are two shots. One from then and one from now...
