To our son...

because we anticipate that a special little boy in Ghana will get to see this...

To our son,
We hope you are fine today. We are so happy that you will come to America to be in our family. We put a lot of pictures here so you can see your mommy, your daddy, your brother and sisters. Your new sister also lived at Eban House. I thought you would like to see pictures of her when she was there.
We will be sending you your album with the next mommy that goes there so you can see more pictures.
We can't wait to come and see you. I know that we have not met you yet but God has put you in our hearts and we already love you,

Love,
Your new family in America


Here I am with your brother


This is the room you will share with your brother...

Your brother likes to play soccer. Do you like soccer?
This picture is neat because your brother is running to get the ball and your dad is in the chair with the hat on watching him.



Here are some pictures of when I went to Ghana to bring home your sister.





I had a fun time with the aunties one day making their toes beautiful



Here are some pictures of your brother and sisters









Your sisters had fun playing in the water one day.




Here is Akwesi with your sister in Ghana

Here they are last week in America together.


We will be so happy when our sweet boy is here in America too!!

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

We had so much fun making scrapbooks for our children, before we met them. And, they still treasure those books. :)

This is the sweetest post EVER!!
I love the picture of S in front of the water spout.
I knew you were special, but now I know that you are absolutely special...I was humbled at the picture of you taking care of the Aunties feet. What a gift. I would really like to know more about that. What did you do exactly, and how did you arrange it?
What a friend you are!

Deborah, you are so kind.. I had a good time that day. I blogged about it here: http://goingghanagone.blogspot.com/2008/05/aunties-party.html.
It was funny as I planned to do one or two pedicures and was taking my time filing their feet and doing my best work until they realized I was doing the pedicures, and they lined up to have me do it. I had to crank out those pedis at the end! If you have any more questions about what I did, let me know...

This is from your son:
I want to see my mom and dad. I want my mom and dad to come here. I am happy that Akwasi is there. I like my brother and my sisters. I like my family and I want to see them soon. I want to see grandpa and grandma. I want to see my dog. I like cats too. I like race cars and small model cars and I like bicycles. I want to play football with my brother.

I'll bet your Kwame is counting down the days, just like you are! You are both so blessed to have each other - isn't it amazing how God orchestrates our lives?
