see what was near him when he woke up......
for Sawyer to open. It has a treat and family picture in each one.
This was today's ~ a phone....that Pat, Courtney,
Rebekah, Joshua, and Bailey had recorded in their own voices
saying they loved him! He LOVES it!
close to our house.
Our kids heard the train "toot it's horn"
growing up (yes, in our "old" neighborhood)...
and we can still hear it at our current house.
and heard the "horn" from our house.....
we HAD to go!!!!!
Papa and Sawyer enjoying some books together ~
We have some GREAT bedtime fun!!!!
Sawyer RUNS from the hallway......
AND.....he does it again and again....
literally maybe 12 times!!!!!! Um....
grandparents can do this!!!!!! :)
It's all about this photo.....
a family (Sawyer's family) who are in AFRICA (Akica)
bringing home his two brothers.
This is such a very special time for us ~
we're treasuring the gift of one on one time with Sawyer......
while Mom and Dad make final preparations for adopting and
bring HOME two African boys.
Precious memories being made.
We love you ....all of you Cassadas (and Hannah!).

What good it did my heart tonight to read this post. Courtney did a great job preparing for this time away. It will be quite the reunion! Love his and papa in their matching Orange shirts too! What a blessing you are to love on sawyer in this special way.
This is adorable! It brought tears to my eyes. Sawyer is so loved - even while his family is so far away. Prayers for the three of you guys this week as well. And enjoy this sweet time.

Dorian, you and Alden are such great grandparents and parents. You enjoy every minute and do such a great job. Loved the train station, pool pictures really all of them. Keep up the good work and it is so great to be able to read Courtney's notes again. For a day or two we were completely at a standstill. It was hard. Glad that everything is coming along for their return now.
Love you.
