First Day without

Today is your first day without your Mommy. I'm having a very hard time letting go of you. I know that kids do this all the time, and in the end it turns out to be the best thing for them, but this day is not one that makes me smile. I told daddy that today, I don't like being a mom. It's the only day since we laid our eyes on you that I have had a aching pit in my stomach. But we will get through this and you will have the time of your life. I'm posting some pictures of you on your first day of Daycare. Have a wonderful time with all the others babies.
I love you, my little angel,
Mommy

Millie

Happy Daddy Day!!!!

We have had a busy couple of weeks. I have been down for medical reasons. Paul has been sick. It's just been one thing after another. But one thing that has kept this crazy world from getting to me is Millie. She is the sunshine in my day. The fresh breath in the mornings. The first and last thing I see everyday. What a wonderful change my life has taken. I have to keep up with posting for Millie. I don't want her to miss all of these first that we have had with her. She is saying bye bye, and waving. She has been trying to feed herself. She is drinking from a sippy cup, with and without my help. She is saying ma ma all the time. I didn't think that I could tear up and even cry more than when we were on the waiting list for our daughter. I was wrong. I cry almost everyday, just out of joy, not sadness. I can't remember my life before her. I remember people who had adopted that I knew saying to me, when you meet your daughter the wait will be worth the wait. They were telling me that straight from the heart. If I was younger I would have waited twice as long for her. I'm glad I didn't have to, but I would have if I knew how this was going to feel. I missed father's day on the blog, but Millie didn't. She was able to spend all day with her daddy. He wasn't feeling well but she made him smile all day long. Happy father's day to the best daddy in the world. He is the strongest man I have ever known. We all know what he has done for Millie and her mommy. We are a family because of him.

Here are some new pictures of Millie. She is getting ready to start Day Care Monday, because mommy is going back to school. Keep both of us in your prayers. It is going to be rough.

We have been gone

Sorry for being late on the Friday post but we were out of town for the weekend at the State softball tournament. Which by the way was very hot and Mercy got beat in the finals. But back to what Millie has been up to. She loves to swim. We went swimming in the pool at the camp grounds. She is sitting up by herself now. She says da da and growls. She is trying to say mama, but I don't think she knows what she is saying to tell you the truth. She is on the verge of crawling. I'm worried that when she gets there I'm in trouble. She is very active and loves attention from anyone that is willing to give it. I can't tell you how much joy and happiness she has brought to our home. I can't believe how much she is changing and loves everyone she meets. Someone that I barley know told me to keep an eye on her the other day, she said people like to steal babies that are friendly like Millie. I wigged out and walked away from her. What is up with telling me that? So I'm getting over it, and trying to not be over protective like everyone thought I would be. I just looked down to see where Millie was and she is across the room. Rolling everywhere and chabbering about something on the floor I think. Better go so I can get her back in the same room as me.
