I LOVE BEING YOUR MOM!!!

I woke up today to my beautiful daughter on Mother's Day!!! I wanted to write her a note telling her how much I love being her Momma. I have always had very special Mother's Day with the boys, they have always made me feel so special and loved. Paul has always made sure that I knew how much he appreciated me in their lives. This year I got to spend it with my daughter not crying but laughing and playing with her Grandma, Aunt Karen, Uncle Greg, and all of her cousins. Last year she had a pretty rough day on Mother's Day, but this year she was loving every minute of it. She makes all my days seem like a blessing. I couldn't ask for anything better than to spend it with her. I love being her Momma! Thank you for all the kisses and hugs today.

HAPPY GOTCHA DAY TO AMELIA!!!!!

One year ago today Amelia was born into our lives. She came so unexpected and to her and us. She too found out when she got on her bus early that morning that her world was about to change. I'm sure she didn't know that she was going to meet her new Momma and Dada, but she knew everything was moving fast and it was not her usual day. She was scared and upset when she showed up on that day but a year later she is thriving and stealing every one's heart she comes into contact with. I can't imagine my life any other way. I'm so happy! I just didn't think that my life would ever be so completely full of love. There have been so many hard times for us, we have endured so much loss and pain. She has brought so much laughter and tears to both of us, but this time out of happiness. We love you Millie!

Millie's day was all about her, she eat egg's and chocolate chip waffle's for breakfast, she got to go to Michele's and Clint, our babysitter. She had corn dog's, boiled egg's, corn, macaroni and cheese, black and green olives, fruit, and salad for dinner, and chocolate pie for dessert. All of her favorite's, minus noodles. Her day was so happy for her, all the food she wanted, played outside, danced inside with Momma, read books, chased dog's around the house. Life is sweet. One more thank you to all who have reached out to us, and helped bring Millie home. Special thanks to Aunt Karen and Jill for listening to me while going through rough times in China.
