Mexico part 2

This is our hotel, and our room. It was amazing! Comfortable bed, great orange couch, and a great view! It was an all inclusive resort. We didn't have to worry about food, drinks, or even room service. Our room had this little box in it. If you left the food outside the door, a flock of birds would be fighting over it. I loved the food. It was a true vacation for us. No worries, just each other.

Yes, we were able to escape without our children. We have never left them this long before. Grandma Lola came up and spoiled them rotten. They loved every minute!

Mexico

We just returned from Mexico. We had so much fun! It was so great to just be together and fall in love all over again! I love you babe! Thanks for working so hard so that we could go!

Wings

Bud can ride a bike!!!! I know most kids are riding by the time they are 4 or 5, but he never had the desire to do it. We moved around often when he was young, and most of the places were not good for riding. We finally took the training wheels off one day, and said that we are doing it. We took them off Pinkie's bike too. Here he is in our circle, riding away. I didn't get a picture of it, but you should have see his smile. It was all across his face! I was jumping up and down and cheering, and the neighbors came out and cheered him on. Bud asks to ride everyday. It is the best! Pinkie is so close. I know she will get it soon. I give you wings!

Dear Birthmother

Dear Birthmother,
We have not met yet, but I am thinking of you. You are on my mind, and in my prayers often. I have met several birthmothers over the years, and I pray for them as well. I know you must read profile after profile. I know your heart must ache. I hope you will find your adoptive family soon. If it is us, I can't wait!
When we started this journey we had no idea what would happen, or how long it would take. We had no idea how special birth parents are. We attended several classes, and met with several birthmoms. Oh how our ideas changed! We grew to not only respect a birthparent, but to love them. We love you! We love your parents!
I am not a perfect mother. I do not believe they exist. I do try to be a good wife and mom everyday though. My kids never go to school or bed without knowing how much I love them. Many have asked if I can love an adopted child as much as biological. Of course I can! I love my kids.... even the ones that aren't in my home yet. Before my children were born, I knew them. The same goes for the children through adoption. I know them. I love them! I can't wait to finally see and hold them. I want you, as their birthmother, to know that I love them, and I love you! I want to tell you that we are so excited to meet you. Our whole family can not wait for the day to welcome our children home.
It may sound cliche.... but we love you. We love you. WE LOVE YOU!!!!! Happy Birthmother's Day!
