firsts

There are so many wonderful firsts that we've been able to experience in the three months since we adopted Kaikai. There are the little firsts, like a first coin for a lost tooth, a first hockey game in the cul-de-sac and a first Valentine's Day celebration. And then there are the bigger firsts like a first talk about Jesus and a nine-year-olds very first birthday celebration.

This past weekend we were able to experience some big firsts with Kaikai, and many little ones, as well. The biggest first was a clear beginning understanding of what Jesus is like: that even though Jesus was harmed by men, he didn't retaliate (Kaikai was amazed by this and kept talking about it), and that Jesus died for our sins and rose again!

And then there were some small, but also beautiful, firsts...

like a first Easter basket,

and a first egg hunt.

 

Our other sweethearts enjoyed the weekend too!

 

And here's a final first of the weekend: A family photo with all 8 of us!

Thank you, Jesus, for the blessing of experiencing all of these wonderful firsts with our precious new son!
