First week at the Smith house

Hey  :o)


May 4th Skyler was placed with us, we picked him up at the airport at 8:30 in the morning (with a "Welcome Home" balloon and two blue balloons). Now we are trying to get the court "moved" up here and the court date set. Then we will have a new birth certificate with Scott and I as the parents and a new SS# for him.


Well as you can imagine this first week has been all about adjusting, learning and only one time out. Skyler picked out a fish (he named him Skyler... lol), we went to two different parks, had a water fight washing the cars, ran in/around/and through the sprinkler, found Rollie-Pollies, clogged the toilet, got dirt in one eye, went to the doctor and as anyone knows the list just goes on and on. This week has gone by so fast, I can not believe it. Below are some pictures.

Welcome to your Forever Home Skyler

He loved this park.

We fixed his training wheels and had to teach him

how to turn around and to use the pedal breaks.

Mother's Day - I got a card and a 

"Happy Moders Day Momma Chrissie"

This is also the first day we had to put him in Time out... humm

For those of you wondering about Vern

Well He loves being the big fur brother

So many people have said we must be somewhat crazy for going from zero kids to a five year old and on top of that Scott leaves for China on Saturday. Well we are a bit crazy but we could not wait any longer for this little guy. He is such a crazy, whistling, finger snapping, five year old blessing and I am loving it.
