....a little more trust gained every day.......





Hudson reached for Mark today and wanted to hold his finger. He still won't let him hold him but isn't pushing him away anymore when he goes to kiss him or touch him.,,,it seems like we have had him forever but I guess we have....The Lord knows our days.......

I broke down crying when I saw this picture. Hudson will know someday what a treasure and blessing from the Lord that hand he is holding represents. I am so thankful he will have Mark as a father! BEAUTIFUL Picture!!!

Love,

What a beautiful photo and what it means is even more beautiful--TRUST...

I pray each day Hudson feels more and more confident that you are his loving, forever family.

Saw the A&M shirt. Have you taught him to "gig'em" yet? :o)

Enjoy these days. I know they are difficult but the joys to come will seem even sweeter.

Many blessings,
Lisa

Mark,
Don't get all emotional or anything. Little "H" just had a booger on his finger and needed a place to put it and you fell for it...very smart young man! Seriously, these are the things that are priceless. It's so neat to watch the pictures and see how the trust and comfort are increasing. We truly serve an awesome God. It should make us all appreciate the depth of his Grace that we really are unworthy of.....just awesome.
We did get the new books for the DMG (I've got yours)and will be starting it this Sunday. Have an enjoyable and safe time while you're there. I can't wait to see him (and you all). He's a lucky kid to have a dad like you. Love you...be safe.

thank you Mark and Sharon for sharing this experience with us. All of the photos and daily news really make us feel apart of this precious time in all our lives. I can hardly wait to meet Hudson. I am praying for you all daily. Let me know when you are settled at home we would love to come see you all.
Love
Erika, Don, Whitley, and Timothy

Love it! It's bringing tears to my eyes. I know what this meant to you and to Mark. I pray he will allow Mark to hold him soon. Hudson is a hoot, a true ham! His expressions are priceless. You could send them in for a credit card commercial! :) You have been a God send. I'm so glad he placed us all here together. His plan is always perfect and worth the wait.
Love you,
Lisa
