I'm just now watching this video! I've been saving it for a moment where I could sit down and really watch the entire thing. LOVE it. Tears were popping off my cheeks watching you guys get "the call" and announcing it to family, meeting him for the first time...you all captured every moment perfectly. Thanks for letting all of us share this journey with you. Such a sweet journey!
