Sweet Sawyer

What a great weekend we had ... again! This has been an amazing autumn in the Pacific Northwest. Last weekend Mac got to hang out at the beach with Jack, and this weekend it was the zoo with Sawyer. Of course, we could not really get them to look at the camera! Sawyer is very special to us for a number of reasons. One of those reasons is that Sawyer and McKaden share the same finding date. On November 28th, 2004, two tiny infants were carefully placed, by two loving mothers, in a place they would be found. We like to believe that this was an act of love and an act to save the life of their child. It they did not indeed love their children, they would have never allowed them to live. McKaden has been home with us for almost a year - the 13th of November is they day we got her. Sawyer has only been home for a couple of months, due to the fact that he was on the waiting child list [SN]. We were really surprised how much a year at home makes a difference! Mac is much bigger than Sawyer - which is actually nice, as she is not bigger than hardly anyone! Just kidding. They are only 3 days apart in age, so it was surprising to see the difference in them. Other reasons we love Sawyer is that we really had to pray to see if we were to have him join our family. When we saw his picture on the waiting child list AND saw his birthday and finding date, we wondered if he was to be a "twin" to McKaden. As we continued to pray about this, another family saw this child and KNEW, without a doubt, that he was their son. So Scott and Shelby got Sawyer and we got to have new friends! How cool is that!
