Look at our BOY!!!Today was a very exciting day! We woke up early, had breakfast and then met our son! As Kevin and I were sitting in the meeting room watching a video presentation, we heard our little boy outside the door....that's when my tears started to flow!
What else can I say but....HE IS BEAUTIFUL!!!! He is just about the size Abby was on gotcha day (normal size for Thai) and is FULL of energy! At first he was pretty shy, and just clinged to the social worker. We got down on the floor and got out some toys and he began to warm up a bit. After about 30 minutes of this, we tried to pick him up. He wasn't sure about this and became very fussy, but it didn't take long for those smiles to start coming out. Once he got used to us, he was great! He really took to us quickly, and began to show us how different having a boy will be! Man, does this kid have some energy. And he's fast as hell too. He can take a few steps at a time before falling, but sure can fly when he's crawling. Anyway, we went for lunch, then back to our room to get him used to it a bit. He was all over the place, and we both immediately realized that we have some "child-proofing" to do when we get home. What fun, though. His smile truly lights up the room. Abby is gonna love him!!!!!! Ok, so we'll post more tomorrow, cause we want to call some of you back home.

Dear Miss Kathleen & Mr. Kevin, Shaun Henry is so cute. I can't wait to meet him. See you soon. Your friend, Abigail
Congratulations Kathleen, Kevin, Abby Liz and Shaun. Shaun is absolutely beautiful and yes, we can see that he definitely has loads of energy. I love the picture with his foster family....Shaun's expression (looking up a the two of you) is priceless. Abigail's favorite is the one with the elephant on Shaun's head. Have a wonderful time making wonderful memories. Judith
