Chasing with a Reckless Abandon

We have a new member of the family (read below) . . . This is our first dance party as a new family.  He joined right in and there should be plenty more where this came from.

Here is what Nikki wrote about the last 24 hours of our life . . .

“The last 24 hours have been a whirlwind….at times I feel like I am dreaming…..then I look around and I see 3 beautiful children looking back at me.  Yes, 3 children.  Last night at 10:00 Jason and I rescued a little 9 month old, Deontae, from a homeless life on the Atlanta streets.  This is the samelittle boy we were hoping to adopt about a month ago, but the mom had decided not to go through with it.  We were over joyed with her decision and never questioned her again.  Then around 7:30 last night the mother of Deontae called Jason and told him she wanted us to pick up her son and adopt him. She wanted a better life for her son, a life she could not give him on the streets.  Jason and I dropped everything, Mr. Ken came over to babysit, and we ran to Atlanta to pick up Deontae.  Now, 24 hours later, he has adapted well and is sleeping in a small crib in our bedroom.  Weatherly and Tennyson have also done really well with a new baby in the house.  Weatherly has taken on a motherly role and Tennyson just watches him.  Little Deontae lightens up whenever Weatherly and Tennyson are around – he begins to dance and smile. It is so fabulous to watch them all play together
