T's Birthday and Homecoming

K's brother, "T" has been home with his family 2 weeks today. It happened very fast like our homecoming with K. He was so excited to move in and has been buzzing around his new house at lightning speed ever since. He is an absolute delight to his family...not perfect as all older child adoptions have their challenges...but really the perfect fit for them. Here is a fabulous update on his  Mama's blog about all the things he has been up to the past two weeks! They have kept him very busy and active and he is having a blast. I have been so very impressed with all the changes they have taken on to make him their son and give him a comfortable place in their home that is all his own. I always loved and respected this family but they are now in my top 5 most admired families I know. Just check out his gorgeous bedroom.

 These are just the preliminary pictures. That bookshelf is now full of wonderful things, his bed is messy and unkept (as a tween's room usually is) and his desk wall has pictures and things hanging. He also has an adorable blue chair (seen in the above corner) with an initial pillow on it, and his name in vinyl above the closet door. It is perfect for a kid his age and interests.

You should see how he scampers about this room like he owns the place...because he now does!

 Here is a picture of my boys welcoming him home with game playing.

It has been a flawless transition.

This past weekend his parents hosted a 12th birthday party for him at the city pool:

Here is Jasmine with T's Mom...her new Aunt Maile!

This is T's new brother, James.

                                              T greeted all his party guests with high fives.

And his dad, Jeremy...whom Isaac LOVES by the way.

We have all had a lot of fun with our new family members!
