There are only two ways to live your life.One is as though nothing is a miracle...... The other is as though everything is a miracle. ~Albert Einstein~
Life is getting back to normal now that the flu has come and gone from our house. We aren't sure if we all had H1N1 or not, but I am just thankful we are all healthy again. I just have a bit of a cough still, but nothing serious. Anyway on the weekend we made cookies. Before the girls came to be part of our family I used to make these every year with the boys. They would usually only last for about 10 minutes then they got bored and move onto something else. It is so nice to have girls around...they actually want to do things like this and they stick around for the whole project. They had such fun cutting out the shapes and putting the sprinkles on our pumpkin cookies. Sam cut out 1 cookie and that was it.....oh well....the girls enjoyed it and so did I.
Our family consists of 6 kids and 2 adults.....Rod my husband works in the media and has his own business. Me.....well I have many titiles.....just to name a few, taxi driver, chef, finance manager, referee, business partner, computer analyist, school teacher and the list goes on, but the one I cherish most is mom. Taylor, our oldest son is in school heading towards being an engineer. Jesse, who just graduated from highschool in 2008 is heading towards Europe and the wide open fields. He has the travel bug and is leaving us for a bigger adventure. Kyle, who is our gentle soul is a budding photographer and is still in high school. Sam who is our miracle baby(there is a link to his blog) is a hockey player and is just having a great time being a kid. And then of course our girls......Our journey to adopt Denaye and Maya started in March 2006. Lots of paperwork and a lot of waiting. We have been blessed with the 2 of them who joined our family on September 6, 2007. There is a link that will give you our timeline if you are interested. If you have been with us since the beginning thanks so much for your support and your prayers...believe me I cherished it all. If you are just tuning in I hope you enjoy the ride.....it gets more interesting everyday!!! Blessings Debbie
