We spent our day at Cathwel again today. The morning was spent seeing children and in the afternoon we spent time visiting with and sharing a presentation with the social workers and staff there.
What a day! We are staying in a lovely location with a beautiful view. When I got up this morning and looked outside as it was just getting light, I just knew the day was going to be a good one.

Victor is every bit as adorable as his pictures and report describe! We were able to travel
to meet him recently, and he is a friendly, silly and typical
9 year old boy. He is very inquisitive and curious and has a lot of questions about almost everything, as he likes to figure out how things work. His teacher back in China shares that he is intellectually on target, and he works hard at school. His favorite subjects are PE and cooking class! He takes English classes every week, and he likes it very much!

We just received Dale’s full profile from our partner agency in Taiwan and let me just tell you…not only did we get his full social history, medical reports, and developmental information, but we also got videos. These are some of the cutest videos I have ever seen – and this is not something I say lightly because we get a lot of cute videos!

Magnificent Miles as he was once referenced for sure and certain is magnificent! Who knew such a little one could hold so much of this mamas heart? Home just seven weeks this week and officially a Snyder eight weeks... although it feels as he has always been a part of our family. It's impossible to imagine the days before he was home. As our days are now filled with his contagious giggles, the pitter patter of his little feet along the wooden floors, his arms stretched out as he says "up" ... reading book after book "duck & goose" being some of his favorites... he says "loose" ... oh how proud I am of how much he has shown us in just this short time.
Our little has been blessed to rock his extra chromosome. Down syndrome is part of magnificent Miles but it does not define him. He is our sunshine. He may not be at the same developmental stage as other two year olds but let me tell you he is just like every other toddler... curious and a sponge for learning. He may not look just like everyone else... his little feet have just a little extra space for sporting flip flops, his short little fingers are just the sweetest and his chocolate brown eyes are ever so slightly further apart. All this makes our magnificent Miles who he is. And we couldn't imagine him any other way.
Today we celebrate as we raise awareness that Down syndrome isn't something to be afraid of. Knowledge is key. No we don't have all the answers nor do we know what tomorrow holds... but what we do know is we are so glad we made the decision to adopt our magnificent Miles. He has forever changed our world. The adventures have only just begun.
