Happy Mothers Day

Happy Mother's Day to all.... Today was a beautiful day and it was a wonderful day, my children and I spent a lovely day together leaving daddy behind to rest, the four of us went out to eat and then got pictures made and then did some shopping. It was a very special day to me, I truly enjoyed being with all my kids and we had a great day. They bring me so much joy and each of them are unique and make my life so blessed, Carter is my little man always there to help and always concerned about everything and everybody and always abides by the rules, Caden is the polar opposite and is about having a good time and takes nothing serious, always wants to make you laugh and breaks all the rules but can make me smile on my worst day, Resiana is the most humble and grateful child and soo loving and just seems so proud to love and be loved, she is my example of Gods almighty power, she renews my faith daily...So as you all can tell Im grateful to be a mother, something I dreamt of for many years and never thought I would be but here I am a mother of three and soon to be four, I am blessed!!!!

Miracles still happen and sometimes my faith has not been what it needs to be but when I look at my children and think of how they came to be mine it is truly amazing, just a gift from God and I could never praise him enough for them and what joy they have brought to my life in their own special way and I praise God for ADOPTION what a miracle not the taboo many people have thought it to be, it is truly a precious gift from God. I understand that some people may not fully understand adoption and that is ok but please do not think of my childrens birth mothers as bad people for these are the women God choose to carry my children and I am forever grateful to them.

LEGACY OF AN ADOPTED CHILD
Once there were two women who never knew each other, One you do not remember the other you call Mother.Two different lives shaped to make your one, One became your guiding star the other became your sun. The first one gave you life, and the second taught you to live it. The first one gave you a need for love and the second was there to give it.One gave you a nationality, the other gave you a name.One gave you a talent the other gave you an aim.One gave you emotions the other calmed your fears.One saw your first sweet smile the other dried your tears. One saught for you a home that she could not provide, the other prayed for a child- and her hopes were not denied. And now you ask me through your tears, the age old question,unanswered through the year, Heredity or enviroment,which are you the product of? Neither my darling,neither.Just two different kinds of Love.

Baby News

Well we just got the word, we are having another little BOY!!!!!
I cannot belive it, wow we are in for some rowdy times but I know we are going to have a ball.
We also found out that he is going to be born the end of Aug. which is later than we thought but I am proud because that gives us more time with Caden before he starts school and time to get everything ready..

Today was kindergaten registration and I did not do very well I thought with knowing I was going to have two more children to take care of that sending Caden to school would be easier,WRONG, I had a total meltdown today crying non-stop for 15 min, my baby is leaving me, he is my buddy my sunshine he makes everyday bright with his crazy personality, The Lord is gonna have to help me or I am going to be a basket case come Aug.10th. Oh yeah I am holding Resiana back, she needs more time and so do I but as with Caden I dont think I will ever be ready for my children to leave me because I still cry when Carter starts back to school, I love being with my kids..I am soo thankful for each of them.

Happy Birthday Resiana

Resiana is now 5 years old and I am so happy that we got to share this birthday with her and we had a wonderful time...I really wished we could of been there for her before now and got to be her parents long before now but God has his way of working and brought her to us when the time was right. Resiana had never had a birthday party or presents but now that has changed. We wanted to make it very special for her(it would not of took much) so we decided to have her several parties to make up for the ones we have missed.
We started out by taking her to The Spoiled Rockin Kidz Salon with her lil friends and they got to dress up like Rock Stars and since she is crazy about Hannah Montana that was perfect, she loved it, during the Happy Birthday song I broke down, knowing where she has come from and wondering where she would have been on the day of her birthday and if she would of been hungry but feeling so much love and peace in knowing that this her 5th birthday was a new begining..
We also had a parties with each side of our families and went to Chucky Cheese just our lil family. We are so blessed and so thankful for the miracle of Resiana and what a wonderful couple of days celebrating her birthday and watching the excitment of a child who is not worried about what kind of present someone got her, just happy to have all the little things in life..May I ever be reminded and humbled by this precious child!!!!
