Today was another beautiful day here in New Jersey (yes it's true!). The leaves on the trees are red and yellow and many have begun falling on the ground. It was a perfect day to visit the Pumpkin Patch at Springdale Farms. We saw chickens and rabbits, which Valmik just loved. Then we took a hayride out to the pumpkins. Valmik walked around touching all of them. We chose a big pumpkin to take home. David bought bubble gum and Valmik was overjoyed with it!
On the way home, Val sang a song Mary Chris had been singing for him and then drifted off to sleep. Later, we had dinner with Valmik's foster parents and it was fun to watch him make shish kebab with them. While the shish kebab was grilling, David and Val wrestled and played in the backyard.
We have been reflecting on how we feel the great blessing and honor of being chosen by God to parent this precious child. We see this as a reflection of how God adopted us, choosing us to be a part of His family, as well.

We are so pleased to hear every detail. Keep us posted! That will be a baptism I will do my best to attend. I spoke to Frank this morning and he is thrilled about the whole process.
Hi Mary Chris and David,
Aawwwww. I am dabbing my moist eyes right now. It is so wonderful to see pictures of your precious boy all smiles. Thanks for keeping us posted. I can't begin to express how happy I am for you both and for your blessed son. God be praised!!
