Natty......one year ago today......

Do you recognize milestones in your life?

I love them. I love to remember.

I love to review all the emotions, sights & sounds of any fond memory.

From that day we met our son:

I remember the softness of baby cheeks.

I remember the hugs of that day. Shear joy to see our foster family again.

I remember the tears.

I remember the crooning to my babies by Mama Anna (all of them) in Spanish.

I remember the look of seriousness on Ana’s face as she carefully held her little brother

& fed him a bottle for the first time.

I remember the bittersweet knowing that in spite of the joy of the day,

a breaking of my heart was coming.

I would soon love this little boy-& do what no mother should have to do-

leave their baby in a foreign country……not knowing when we would return.


What a year of blessing this has been, huh?

& to think that in the summer of 2007,

we had no idea how much different &

BETTER our lives would be with another blessing in our lives......

“Behold, children are a blessing from the Lord.”
Psalm 127:3

Do you spend time “remembering?”
