I am alive…. not so well!!!
Thursday, August 6th, 2009My life is HARD! Who’s isn’t… ?
I would love post a ton of pictures and tell about the WONDERFUL summer we have had.
I would love to say that having 6 kids is beyond my wildest dreams exciting and fun!
I would love to say that our little “Utah” born Ethiopian is the reason I wake in the morning!
I know HUGE surprise…
So there it is…
BUT….
I do have faith and trust in the Lord who is responsible for whispering to Steve and I that this IS the right little person who FITS AND BELONGS here with HER family!
I do honestly have the greatest children EVER!
Avery is so completely grownup and yet some-days he is still our little AVERY!
Ethan… seriously I would have cracked COMPLETY without Ethan. He just has this amazing LOVE for his sisters.
Isaac WOW… Isaac always know when I just need a kid who needs a MOM! Isaac is the kid who talks about the most wonderful ideas and feelings!
Owen… I am grateful for his humor. His wild and crazy energy it reminds me to let loose and enjoy the “rain”.
Maya my sweet little baby… she loves me even when I mean! She wraps her stick little fingers around my neck and give the big FISH kisses.
Frazer how does she know what I’m thinking? Where I’m going next? She always does… she is ALWAYS right there to hold the door, pick up the pen/spoon I haven’t even dropped yet! How does she know?
Steve is my BEST Friend I LOVE being with him alone. He makes me laugh and he makes me the most nuts!
So with such a wonderful family why has this adoption been sooooo hard? Why are we afraid to talk about the HARD STUFF in our lives? This sucks… really… it really sucks. We have this little girl who melts hearts wherever she goes. She charmers anyone who looks her way. Why do I want her “mom” to come? FOR REALS… I feel this way!!! Horrible hu.. ! This is hard… waaaaa… you know!
So I was searching for anything to help me keep the faith! I came across this clip again I sure I have watched it a dozen times but today… TODAY it means something MORE. This is a family… an ordinary family who is making HARD choices every day! I get it that life is a hard road and I just needed be reminded that “WE WILL SERVIVE” and through this I know that I will become a better mother!!!
Enjoy!!!!
