Eli had lots of visitors at our house the first several
weeks, yet everyone was so gracious to let us cocoon him and work on our
bonding with him. I took pictures of many of his visitors and I want to
remember all these sweet friends and family that came to share in our blessing.
We also got to take you to small group for the first time to
meet everyone that had worked so hard to fundraise with the garage sale and
played a huge part in bringing you to our family. What a blessing it was to be
able to walk through the doors of the Dunn casa with their newest family
member!
