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~
Maya got braids put in....all her own hair...no extentions this time!!!
Maya turned nine last week....for those of you paying attention we have skipped a few birthdays.......that's another post for another day. Maya had a Hanna Montana birthday......again. She invited 7 of her closest friends over and the girls had a great time playing together. These girl birthdays are a new thing for me and I am still getting used to it. The girls did a craft and they made the most elegant wands I have ever seen...complete with glitter glue, sparkles and sequins.....fabulous. Maya loves her friends and she was so grateful that they came to celebrate with her. The day was huge success....Happy birthday Maya!!!
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
