happy birthday to archie


Archie turns six today!
He is celebrating in North Carolina 
with the Bookman family.

Archie is an amazing little boy.
He came to us from China back in December.
His transition has gone well.
He is picking up our language very quickly.
He jumps right in....
whatever is happening,
he is involved.

Archie is very competitive,
a little obsessive,
a lot loud.
He doesn't know a thing about pronouns,
so every time he speaks, he calls everyone by name.

He is very brave.
He has endured some very difficult procedures
without a single flinch or cry,
but got very angry
when the doctor made a mark on his leg.

He likes rice,
 but he also likes good old
Southern 
home-cooked meals.

Archie,
we are glad you came to Georgia. to live.
You are smart 
and have so much potential.
You will be raised in a Christian home,
given every opportunity to excel.

We are glad you call us grammy and granddaddy.
What a privilege to know and love
a little guy from China!
