Gotcha Memories
In honor of our up-and-coming one year "Gotcha Day" anniversary with Aidan, I thought I'd do a few posts of memories of our Journey to Aidan.
This morning I saw a large download coming in on my email program. I hoped it was pictures from sister of my uber-cute new nephew and it was. I flashed backed to the months of waiting for Aidan and living for updates and pictures coming from Guatemala.
If I saw my email program receiving a large file I would scream for Dave to join me at the computer. We'd excitedly wait for the file to be ready to open, hoping and praying it was what we wanted. Most of the time it wouldn't be (we only got updates about every 6-8 weeks). It was usually a forwarded joke with complicated graphics. I usually would cry a little bit from the massive disappointment, but Dave would get mad. He would always go into a tirade of pronouncements: "You let everybody know we don't want anymore emails like that until we give them further notice!!!" I never said anything, I knew we were just stressed.
Here's one of the photos we jumped for joy when seeing, followed by one of my favorite "First Year with Aidan" photos.

My that little boy has changed. I'm really starting to notice that he is becoming more and more comfortable leaving Mommy and Daddy and exploring the world, especially my little world. Of course, I don't get to have too much time with him before someone gets a little jealous. I do love my time with him though. I was so surprised the other night when he just came over and jumped in my lap while I was sitting on the floor. That really made my day. You know I love them both :~).
Love,
TaTa and Ralph
