Ladies and Gentlemen.....we have a gotcha day!

On August 29th this cutie pie will be taken through the gates of the orphanage and he will join his forever family!

The plane tickets are booked and everything is ready for him to come home. I even have a stash of donated breast milk for him in the deep freezer. I have enough diapers to last six months at least!  I have a dresser full of clothing and more clothes in the basement.  I've had to start avoiding the baby clothing aisle in the stores because we have more than enough. It's going to be bittersweet packing up his outgrown clothing. I'm already feeling sad about that. lol

So Silas and I have less than 4 weeks together as a family of two. That's just incredible to think about.

Last week we went camping with my family. The weather couldn't have been more perfect. Silas loved the water and the beach and he slept fairly well in the tent except for one 5:30 morning wake up.

Goofing around with Auntie Sara

Nap time with mommy on the beach

Sandcastles with grandpa

On August 10th he gets his cast off! I can't wait to see what his reaction to going to the pool will be like.

We went back to the beach yesterday and we might go one more time this week because I have cousins camping up there.

Next week we're going to go to a different lake and spend a night in a yurt! Should be fun.

Then the trip to Regina to get the cast off.  We'll stop at a splash park on our way back again.

As you can see I'm trying to fill our days with lots of fun stuff so the time passes quickly but also gives me some quality time with Silas before he has to share his momma. 

25 days until Myles leaves the orphanage and 34 days until Silas starts school!
