Judah's Halloween Party

At Judah's preschool, which he attends 2 mornings a week, they had a halloween party on Friday. They each dressed up and then went to a seniors home across the street and sang some songs they had learned...it was TOO CUTE! Judah sings the songs all the time at home, but at the party, not one word came out of him! Too much going on I guess. :)

Judah's Birthday

Today is Judah's 3rd Birthday. Yesterday we had a costume themed party with grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. It was lots of fun!

Here is Daddy Lion, Judah Lion and Grandpa Pirate

I was able to hug my little man and know that he was going to be with us forever...it was wonderful.

2 years ago today....

we were excited!

Yeah!

So last night I was having the biggest pity party for myself. I know, I have SO MUCH going for me and have a wonderful family. A ridiculously wonderful husband who really does 'get' me. And a fantastically great son. But sometimes I become so annoyed at the fact that it feels like we are goign to be waiting forever to complete our family. I so desperately want another child. A yearning that only grows after having 2 kids over the weekend. I so want to give Judah the joy that comes from having a sibling. And I know that it will happen some day. I do know that. But sometimes my impatience grows and I need to have a big 'boo-hoo' about everything. Now, please realize that I know that I am incredibly blessed to even have one child. I do get that, and am not loosing sight of what a blessing that is.
But sometimes the yearning in my heart just gets so big and I just need to cry it out. :)

SO I had a big sob fest last night. Only to find this afternoon in my e-mail a message from our adoption worker. Turns out our profile is goign to be presented to a family for a 1 1/2 year old boy. YAY!! I know that there is a big possiblity that we won't be chosen (just like last time)...but I don't care. I'm excited anyways! How can you not be? It annoys me to no end when people tell me not to be excited...especially those who have no idea what it's like to walk in my shoes. So...I'M EXCITED! And I do realize that we might not be chosen. But the thing that really struck me was, it was as if God heard me last night in my prayers as I cried out to Him and answered them this morning. Not necessarily with this child coming to our home, but sort of letting me know that He hasn't forgotten about us and our time will come when we will add to our family. Isn't life just great sometimes?

Love it
