One year ago, we were a family of three and today we celebrate a year of our family of four. Happy, funny, charming, smiley, smart, musical, physical, loving, sweet, chatty and just truly cute Zak changed our family forever. We are forever grateful to all the parents in China who made that heart wrenching decision, to the nannies and caretakers who watched over him, to the doctors who mended him and to God for making him part of our family. We looked through all the photos of our China trip tonight and the boys remembered and laughed and talked about how "little" they were then and how "big" they are now. They fill my heart beyond words with their joy and their laughter. Their bond is so intense and yet so tender. Families are made in so many ways...I am forever grateful that ours was made into this...
Happy adoption, gotcha, forever family to our "baby brother Zak".

Happy One Year! Zak has grown so much over the year as I have been following along. He and Van are such a pair! You always get the best pics of them both!
Sweet! I can't believe it's only been one year, seems like so much longer!!! I hope you have a great day!
Oh my - what a great day for all of you. Was it only a year ago that I was checking this blog every day to see what was going on with the Malkies in China?? Seems as if he's always been here. Zak is a joy, not only to his family, but to everyone who meets him. God Bless.
