HAPPY EASTER

We are heading out of town for the holiday weekend, spending Easter with my parents in the Poconos. Tomorrow we will drive into the city and drop my car off at our adoption agency, we decided not to sell it but instead donate it to the agency so that something good can come from it. I figure my dad is helping us by giving us his truck we should pay it forward.

It's a great car, almost brand new on the inside and out. Bob and I took very good care of it and it holds many memories, it's the car that we drove Owen home in from the airport, that means a lot to me. That's why I couldn't see selling it to someone that might not appreciate that, but to know that our car will be used to transport babies to and from social worker visits, doctors appointments, etc. really makes it special.

From there we will drive up to PA and spend time with my family and I am sure have lots of Easter festivities! There will be egg painting, egg hunts and eating lots of candy I am sure!!!

Hope all my blogger buddies have a great holiday weekend!

MOMENTS LIKE THIS.....

I am in bed on wireless and my little guy is sleeping soundly next to me, it is a moment like this that I realize just how complete my life is and how happy I am. Bob is working this weekend and won't be home until 11:30 p.m. me and Owen came up to bed and had our normal before bed time ritual...ice pops!! But before Owen finished his ice pop he was sleeping. So, I am letting him stay until Bob gets home and he can transfer him into his bed.

I am watching this perfect little person sleeping, little breaths of air coming out of his nose and can't help but stare at him, can't help but want to hold him and never let go. But more importantly it's moments like this that I can't help but think about the women half a world way and wonder what does she look like, does Owen have her eyes? her nose? Is it her that he gets his amazing personality? He is such a gentle caring soul, he had to have amazing birth parents.

I know that the life that Bob and I give him now is going to help make him the person he will grow up to be and every day Bob and I do our best to be sure he becomes a great man, a loving, caring man but his foundation is what started him on that path and his foundation is in China.

The love that I have for him is unmeasurable, the lengths I would go for him are unmeasurable and forever our hearts will be one.
