Three years ago today I was given the most precious gift.
This morning I went back and read this post then this one and another and all of them in-between, my words were sparse but the memories oh the memories. And the tears just came and did not stop for quite a while.
Adoption is just amazing and beautiful completely unimaginable. Never in my wildest dreams would I have put our family together in this way only God could orchestrate such a miracle.
If any of you are pondering adoption I say take the leap the reward is AMAZING!

Happy Birthday
to my Hubby.
Every year we have a "Friends Thanksgiving" this year it happens to fall on Pete's birthday. We will be celebrating surrounded by friends. . . Sounds pretty good to me.
I feel pretty blessed to have this man in my life.
Anyone recognize this?
Hainan Air - Flight to Beijing.
3 years ago today on my hubby's birthday he drove me to the airport, kissed me goodbye, never again would we be a family of 4.
My sister, dad and I boarded a flight to China that forever changed our family.
Can you tell we were just a little excited??

My Girly @ 104
Naomi had a fever of 104 a couple of nights ago. Today no more fever but a cough and a run down little girl.
I hate to say it but it is kinda fun for this mamma.
She is snugly and can sit still for more than 2 seconds and her voice is a little horse so she is whispering.
You see my girl is an ON THE GO kinda gal and a bit LOUD most of the time.
A little break from the norm is kinda nice
especially when I get to hold and love on my girl. I always remember that there was a day that she did not have a mommy to just sit and hold her. I LOVE being this girls mommy It makes me happy.

Halloween in Pictures
Just in case you can't quite tell who's pumpkin is what . . . Nathaniel made "Jump Rope Guy"
Zach 's is a mummy and Naomi made Hello Kitty
We had a bunch of neighbors over for a quick dinner before we all went trick-or-treating. At one point I counted 20 kids never counted the parents but all the kids had at least one parent most had two. We had a great time but I never got out my camera. You know kinda busy getting dinner on the table.
These pictures are from today. I tried to just forget about getting shots of the kids but it just did not seem right. I NEED them for history.
So here goes
My girl was an Fall Fairy, she never put on her costume yesterday. Too scary!!
Truth be told she really wanted to be a green apple. We went to the fabric store to get the supplies but when we got there this costume was 70% off . . . I was sold. I kinda "sold" her on it. This mamma does not know how to sew.
Look how beautiful she looks as an Autumn Fairy
Pirate Zach
ARGH!!
