I was shocked to receive this beautiful opal necklace. It is very special to me since it was given to me by my husband in Bryant's honor. The opal is Bryant's birthstone, October, but even more special is the meaning behind the opal. Along with the necklace I received this.
The opal is called "Cupid Paederos" by the Romans, meaning a child beautiful as love. A gift of opal is symbolic of faithfulness and confidence.
How sweet is that. After the birth of the girls Jeff gave me a piece of jewelry so that one day I could pass it along to them. Each of them would have this gift given from their Daddy when they were born. With Bryant being a boy we decided to buy him a pocket watch in Russia and have it engraved with his adoption date (made possible by the help of some very special friends). I did not expect to receive another gift for Christmas. So that makes me one lucky girl.
Bryant is doing very well. Some days are better than others as with any child. The weather has been nice and he has loved being outside. He squints in the sun because he is not used to it. The girls have been home for break and they have had so much fun with him. Sometimes too much fun. Here are some pictures to laugh at. Poor little guy is so out numbered.
