After much waiting (as always) we FINALLY got pictures from Zac's birthday. Of course, I won't post them - but instead I'll tell you all about them.
Picture 1 - Zac sitting at a table with 2 other kids. (Yes, we were surprised too that they would send us photos with other kids in them). But, oh well. It'll be nice to show him someday and see if he remembers any of his friends.
Picture 2 - VERY FUNNY! It's a picture of Zac and 4 other kids all sitting on potty chairs. Although strange at first, we decided that we're happy that we have such a picture of our boy. Afterall, I'm sure that "potty time" is a frequent part of his current routine.
Picture 3 - We may have discovered what the "activity session" on his birthday was all about. Picture 3 is of Zac in front of a mirror with a crazy hat on and holding a doll. Perhaps they were playing dress up? How wonderful that he is keeping active and playing. Naturally, our worst fear is him lying in a bed all day. Clearly this is not the case. I've said a couple of different times that one of our biggest surprises on trip #1 was the quality of care and attention that the kids received at his Baby Home.
Picture 4 - Super Cute! It's a picture of Zac curled up in his bed looking like he just settled down for a nap. It appears that he's still assigned to the same bed that he had when we were there. We printed this one out and have it sitting on our night stand. It's as if he's right here with us....... but not really.
Picture 5 - Appears to be a picture of some other kid. It's alittle blurry, but it's hard to tell. We just laughed. It's much easier to deal with everything that way.
So I guess we really only have 4 pictures.... What a gift today has been.

OH WOW! That's awesome! We didn't get anything like that during the adoption (and we had a 6 month wait from first visit to court--which I know isn't as long as your wait is, but it was still long and hard).
You'll treasure those photos for always!!! We WERE given a small photo album with 20 pictures of our DD--those pictures were all she had from the first 5.5 years of her life, but we are so thankful for them!!
Wow, what a gift those pictures truly are! You will absolutely treasure those, as will Zac, forever. We have 4 pictures of Owen before 14 months old (the referral photos) and no pictures of him during our time apart even though we left cameras. We know for a fact that he spent most of his time in a crib. I am so happy to hear Zac is being well cared for and was even able to celebrate his birthday. He will definitely love the photos with friends as he gets older too. :)
LOVE the pictures of you two doing the show in NY too!! Had no idea you were so into theater!
