My 200th Post - And our beautiful children!

I just noticed that this is my 200th post!! Crazy talk. I really need to take the time to make my blog posts into a book.

So I can't believe I forgot to post these pictures last month. I was lucky enough to have Lindsay take the kids pictures again. It was time for Macy's 9 month pics, the twins 5 year pics, so I figured it was time to have a child family photo op. I still pinch myself because I can't believe how beautiful my children are and how blessed I am to be there mom!

Halloween 2010

I have a beautiful family and that's all I have to say.

Adoption

November is National Adoption Month. I have attached one of my favorite adoption poems. I hope you like it as much as I do. I can't imagine life without Macy, our sweet little chocolate princess.

Legacy of An Adopted Child

Author Unknown

Once there were two women,

Who barely knew each other.

One is in your heart forever,

The other you’ll call mother.

Two different lives,

Shaped to make yours one.

One became your guiding star,

The other became your sun.

The first gave you life,

And the second taught you how to live it.

The first 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 the seed of 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 gave you a family,

It was what God intended for her to do.

The other prayed for a child,

And God led her straight to you.

And now you ask me

Through your tears,

The age old question through the years.

Heredity or environment…

Which are you a product of?

Neither, my darling… neither,

Just two different kinds of love.

Harvest Maze - October 2010

This was the first time we have taken the kids to a pumpkin patch. To say they had fun would be a huge understatement.

Macy Macy and more Macy

Man I love this little girl!

(9 months old - where does the time go?)
