Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all of the special mother's in my life! It is a blessing to raise my own children with the love, support and encouragement from each of you!  I thought today would be appropriate to post the pictures of our latest ultra sound last Thursday. The baby looks great, weighing in already at 2lbs. 7oz.   In a few of the 3D pictures they took, him or her looks almost identical to our little Jaden the day he was born. We become more and more excited everyday for this little miracle to arrive and welcome him or her into our family!  On this Mother's Day, I can't help but look back to last year as I celebrated with my amazing son but longed for another baby. I pray for, today, all of the women that I know, and those I don't that are struggling with infertility or waiting for their match as they endure the adoption process.  God has blessed me richly this year as I watch Myla in her crib sleeping right now, and I am struck at what a difficult day this must be for her birthmom. Please hold her, Michelle, in your prayers today as well. I know now, in my life, just what a miracle each baby is to your family, no matter how they came to be apart of it. Again, Happy Mother's Day to the most amazing women I know!  I love each of you dearly and thank my God on your behalf today!

The first three pictures are of Jaden and Myla swinging at the park and with Micah. The fourth picture is Jaden in his swim class. He's doing a great job learning how to swim. He and Micah go on Monday nights for their "boy's night out". They go to swim and then out to dinner together. Jaden loves the special time with his Daddy!  The last picture is Jaden and me doing some raccoon watching in the backyard. Momma raccoon decided to bring her babies to this tree and Jaden left his paci's for them. Well, only two paci's, not all of them yet. He did go back and leave another the next day after Mommy raccoon left him a note telling him how sweet and kind he was to leave two for her babies!  Hope everyone is doing well and looking forward to the weekend!  I know we are!!!! :)
