Gratitude Day #10: Adoption

There are no words to describe the heartache of wanting something so badly and not being able to 'solve' the 'issue' yourselves.  For ten long years Lennard and I ached to be parents and when we were finally told that we had been 'chosen'... it was a dream come true.  I cannot think of another gift that has blessed our lives so completely.  I am SO incredibly grateful for the brave couple that put Emma's needs first and made the courageous choice to place her in our arms.  I think about them every day and pray that they will always know of our love for them.  Our family would not be complete without them.

Talking on the phone... a favorite thing to do lately!

On a completely different note... we changed Ben's crib into a toddler bed today.  He is officially a 'big boy' now!  Yikes!  How did he get to be so big so fast?! 
Ben was very excited for his 'new' bed... Emma - not so much.  She was not impressed that Ben got to lay on his bed first.

We started mudding and taping the laundry room today and Emma decided that she needed to help...
