Readoption Day....



It's been almost one year since we first saw Reese's picture for the first time.

Today we readopted her in our state and became officially a family of three. She will now have an American birth certificate. Yeah...

She did so good, super good while mommy & daddy had to answer a few questions and get sworn in by the judge.

Reese was born in our heart many years ago.... And it's been awesome this past year getting to know the real little girl God created and placed in our hearts. We're official now baby girl..... and you know what it's a great thing.

Graduation Day....

I've had my first school graduation. Granted it was only graduating out of the 2 year old class at Reese's daycare but it was still a first for me.I know it's not too exciting for some but it was awesome for us. To watch my little girl, my daughter of almost one year, stand on a stage with her classmates and stare out at a huge crowd of strangers and then dance and clap and not cry or run was something I'll never forget. ( I just wish I hadnt forgot my camera... oh well....)

I have to tell you there was this one priceless moment when they sang " We Fall Down" and she stood at just the right moment and raised her little arms and swayed while singing "and we cry Holy, Holy, Holy," and then knelt with her hands together to pray when they got to " we fall down and lay our crowns ". I just couldnt hold back the tears from my eyes.

I could just image God looking down from heaven and smiling at his little creation and thinking... job well done.

Thank you Lord so much for this little gift....my baby girl Reese. And thank you Lord for putting me and Mark on the path to our daughter. The path wasn't always straight but the finish line sure did come with a huge reward...she's some prize.... Happy Graduation Day baby girl.

1st Mother's Day ...


This past weekend was such a wonderful weekend. Just relaxing with my husband and my daughter. A dream come true for this once broken heart. I lost my mom three years ago and still miss her each day.( If you are still blessed to have your mother, please love her and tell her how special she is each chance you can.) And it's been nine years since we lost our son Noah and then two years after that we lost our baby Erin or Aaron.

I can honestly say their have been many sad Mother's days for me in the last nine years. Some harder than others, but God is ever faithful and this Mother's Day was the best. Thank you Lord....to be Lola Reese's mother is the greatest honor I can think of. She's such an awesome little girl and I'm her mother. How awesome is that?
