20 Already? Happy Birthday, Colt!

I can't believe that my baby boy is already 20 years old.......as of yesterday March 4th! I had a little trouble with my scanner, so I'm just now able to get this post on here. I wanted to share some of my favorite photos of Colt with you.

First Birthday


This was his "Oh, no...Girls...face"


It's amazing for me to think that this special boy, our son, was born across the world and God was preparing him to come home to us...his family, anxiously awaiting his arrival. Actually, at this point, only God knew he would be ours. We were awaiting assignment of a child (our child) and wouldn't know for another month or so that our son was born on this day and going through all the legal processes necessary to bring him home to us!

Our little man all dressed at church....


Mr. cool...with his guitar....


What a blessing (and adventure) it has been raising this guy! As you can see from all "the faces of Colt" in the pictures throughout this post, we were never bored. He has always been a bundle of energy, lots of fun, and he has thoroughly entertained us!

I think this is my VERY favorite picture...I love this expression I captured...


Our little cowboy....right before riding in one of his horse shows.


Now a young man....One of his senior pictures (taken by me).....


Colt,

We're so proud of the young man you've become and so very glad that God chose you to be ours! I know God has so many plans for you and it's exciting to see them unfold. We love you with all our hearts! We hope you enjoyed your birthday celebration at The Olive Garden. I know we did....as usual you entertained us all!
Happy 20th Birthday, Son!
