New Experiences

Here are some fun pictures of Eli's first few weeks home. He had fun with his first Halloween, but the first zoo visit topped it for sure. Eli is always excited to go somewhere new, so he was all smiles as we walked through the zoo entrance. When we came around the corner and he saw the giraffes, he literally stopped in his tracks and gasped! He loved feeding them and seeing the new babies! It is wonderful watching Eli experience things that we've taken for granted, it helps all of us appreciate life even more. The picture of the kids on the lion statue is significant for our family. We have a photo of Josh and Emma on that statue when they were 3 & 2 years old, and when Hannah came home at 2.5 years old, we had the three kids pose on it. If we weren't sure we were "done" before, we realize it now. We can't fit another kid on the lion!!
