"Besos" Kisses.......& my rambling thoughts on love! ;-)

Finally!

We are starting to see what I always dreamed of!

Before we started the adoption process, I wanted a sister for Ana.

Why?

Because I am one of the privileged people that still calls my sisters my best friends.

When life throws me a curve ball…….

or when I’m so overcome with joy I’m about to burst-

they are the first people to hear about it

(well-probably Dave & my mom are, too)

I wanted that for Ana sooooo badly.

I think that was one of the hardest things about infertility & miscarriage.

BUT……God had other, better plans, didn’t He?

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD,

thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope."

Jeremiah 29:11

The last few months have been sometimes hard when it comes to

“growing pains” & adjusting to becoming a family of five.

But, now, we are begining to see....

love for each other taking a firm root in their hearts.

This picture is one of my favorites, taken on our visit trip to Guatemala, while in process on our son’s adoption. It captures what I have always wanted for all my kiddos-love given & love received.

I don't think I could sum up better than this picture does,

do you?
