The BIG day...........

Introducing Isaiah Tong Gajewski, born Sept. 12 2005 in China and adopted into our family Aug. 3rd 2009. He has not cried once and immediately took to both of us with loud laughter. We thank the Lord for each one of you and your prayers...it was obvious that Christ went before us and was in complete control.
We are in a new province and hotel where the internet connection is giving us trouble. We have loads of videos to put on the blog when the connection is better.

  5. He is absolutely more than we ever dreamed. He is going to fit into our family perfectly!!! It's amazing to me that God chose our family for Isaiah. Can't you just see him surrounded(sufficated is a better word) by the love of all those cousins??? Maris will be so cute with him - she's a little mother! Love to the three of you, Candy

  8. What a beautiful family picture, all you need is little Maris!!! Mike and Jo, you are positively beaming!!! What an amazing God we have. How tremendously blessed are we to share in this miracle of adoption with you all.
    I have decided that I am an absolute failure at Skype, that doesn't stop me from dashing in the playroom every few minutes to call though...
