We arrived home with Hannes...
It was the beginning of the rest of his life...
In the year since we have been
home with Hannes
he has had his congenital birth defects
corrected
he is healthy now!
Healthy!
In his orphanage he was isolated in the infirmary
due to his heart defect
he spent most of his time in a crib...
this was for his benefit, so that he wouldn't get sick
by being around the other children...
So he has spent this year
catching up
learning to laugh
learning to play
learning to eat
living his life...
Smiling...
one of the boys...
Kissable...
messy...
out and about in the real world...
or busy at home...
being a brother...
exploring this world...
gaining skills...
water... swimming... LOVE...
playgrounds! sliding is fun!
Christmas with your sister
is fun!
It has been a wonderful year
Hannes!
We are so grateful you are in our lives...
Happy One Year home Hannes!!
