I put the ticker at the top of the blog so that we could easily see how long it has been since we saw the Little Guy. I can’t decide if it is a good thing to see the days go by or not. On one hand, every day that goes by is a day closer to getting to hold him again. But with each day that goes by is another day that he has to forget our smell, our touch, our yummy treats, and our fun toys! We are using his name around our house all of the time now so it is hard for me to remember to call him Little Guy on the blog. I am not going to be surprised if I don’t slip one of these days. After school on Friday, Justin and I took the kids to finish up some shopping. We were in a department store having Brady try on a couple of pairs of jeans (the boy won’t stop growing!) and Madison and I found our way over to the infant/toddler section. We decided, given all of the measurements, that Little Guy is in 12 month clothing right now so we will buy 18 month items. The next thing I know all 5 of us are picking up various things saying “Ahhh look at how cute this is!” “He’s just gotta have this!” After looking at all of the items that were gathered, I came to my senses and told everyone that we could choose 3 things. We have several weeks to get through while we wait, and I have a feeling part of our therapy is going to be shopping for items for Little Guy. So after some negotiation we narrowed down our choices. I cannot wait for the first night we can cuddle with him in his new fuzzy jammies!
Just for a little sneak peak…take a look at that button nose and precious little hand. This is a tiny portion of one of my favorite pictures – the one that is my computer backdrop at work. He is so stinkin’ cute- even if I am a little biased!!

Love the thought of the five of you cuddling up Little Guy Overstreet in his new jammies...hope that day comes sooner rather than later :). Hugs!
Heather thanks for all of your updates. As i look at Little Guy's pic it makes me think of Kate and how much you must long to see him again. How sweet and precious he is and how blessed he will be to have you guys as his family. Jessie
Praying you can return to get your Lil Guy soon!! Even if it means many more hours on snowy heavy traveled roads!! :)
i like having the ticker it helps me remember how close you are to going back. i was at bergners and they had a sale you know i wondered over to look. cant wait to meet little guy.
The more days on the ticker, the closer you are to going back to pick him up!
I wish ours were in the same baby home...I'd snap a couple pictures for you if they'd let me. There's nothing quite like getting pictures in between trips.
I'll be praying for you. Blessings to your family during this remembrance season!!
Merry Christmas!
This photo just melts my heart...
