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~
This weekend was a busy one. Yesterday Maya got her hair done and today is Maya's birthday and we also had the girls dedication today. It was so much fun for the girls to dress up so fancy in their new dresses and show off their new shoes to all who would notice. I can hardly believe that they have been home for almost 3 months and yet it seems they have always been a part of our family. Things are so normal now that it's hard to imagine life without them. It was a special day for all of us. My sister and her family came to the service and so did my mom. What a blessing these girls are to our family.......they are loved and they know it.
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
Love, Heather
