Mother's Day!

Mother's Day has a different meaning to me this year. As in the past (when I have been expecting) the gift of another child that will soon be part of our family cannot leave your mind or soul. It is a true miracle that I will be a mother to 6 children very soon. Our hope to get a referral soon is what drives us. We are so anxious to know these amazing children and welcome them into our home.
Many hugs, kisses and thoughtful gifts were prepared for me today and I feel so blessed and so lucky to be a Mother.
Below is a very special adoption story that was posted in the New York Times today. I really enjoyed it and thought you might too!

Happy Mother's Day to my Mom and Sister and to all of my dear friends!

Lemonade Stand!

I have to tell you a funny story, yes it involves the youngest comedian of the family! Some neighbor kids put up a lemonade stand yesterday. It was just across the street and far to tempting for him not to give it a try. I had just gotten in the car to get a few groceries and sister was babysitting. He came charging in the house and ran upstairs. She didn't pay much attention. But then he came rushing down and flew out the front door. Sister wasn't sure where he was going so she thought she would run out and ask him "what's up?" At that very moment she realized he was holding some money. Upon further examination she realized he was holding two one-hundred dollar bills. He went into my room and grabbed some grocery money that Dad left for me.

Needless to say, that would have been a really successful day at the lemonade stand if he would have made it over! I just had to post this cute story, so typical of him. He makes me laugh!!!!!!

Tugging at your heart strings!

The stories in this clip are hard to comprehend. Bless the birth mothers who have to give up their babies......

Dinner with the girls!

I wanted to post today about the amazing group of women who give me such strength, inspiration, courage and love. I am so blessed to have so many strong and inspirational women in my life. I realize how really lucky I am. It is so fun to look at all of the things in life and to know that I have friends that are so well versed in just about every darn thing I could imagine. I can't think of a time when I didn't say oh! so-and-so is great at that. Let's give them a call and get some advice or she is so great at that, let's call her and get some ideas. It is really amazing when you think about it. So many talents, so many different personalities, so many ways to do things and yet they are all so beautiful and that is what makes this so special and unique. So today, I am especially thoughtful of all of you amazing friends that add so much to my life and I thank you....
