LOVE and LAUGHTER

Jules is a three year old who can be easily defined by the phrases of “wiggle worm” and “busy bee.” He has the pearliest whites and uses them to his advantage. Well, I know they certainly won a few people over today…

Today Jules’ adoptive parents came to bring him home. They are the sweetest Italian couple. When I first met them they were, as the mama put it in her very thick Italian accent, “very emotional.” I mean, who wouldn’t be when you are going to meet your son for the first time.

It was truly a heart warming experience seeing this couple meet their son for the first time. Tears were shed, smiles were given, and there was love and laughter all around.

The three of them were so fun to watch; especially the love you saw in both of their eyes every time they caught a glimpse of Jules.  The way the couple talked to Jules, played with him and all the all together interaction was awesome. The best part was they were Italian! It was a riot hearing all the cliché Italian words we hear in the U.S. They would call him bambino, they would say “bravo” after Jules did something good, and the enthusiasm and hand movements constantly kept me entertained. It was a lot of fun having them as guests for two days. The house was relentlessly filled with happiness, love and excitement.
