Seeing Avery

I received news this past week about a friend of mine that has been through hell trying to get pregnant. They finally decided on adoption. For the past two years they have been going through the process. Finally Last week they got the call. A 2 day old girl needed to be placed. They excepted her. Tonight she had a shower for her and I was able to meet little Avery. She is so adorable 5lb 2oz. The tiniest precious thing you could imagine. Her dark wavy hair and her tiny toes just puts life into perspective.
I can't believe that there are people out there that treat these blessings as if they are unwanted pieces of trash. Yes I will be the first to admit that children can be difficult but, I am so blessed to have mine. Seeing Avery tonight in the arms of her Mother, was priceless. She is a child that God has hand picked for my friend. Watching this family develop is a blessing beyond words.

Ok so I don't know yet if I passed my EXAM. I hope to find out next week before I leave for Vegas.


Today I fought Austin to take a nap after a long day of play. After 4 I gave up. I figured if he went to sleep now he wouldn't sleep tonight. So he was hanging on the couch with me. Which is a rare place for me to be but I was folding clothes. That is my peace time. And I felt his head fall on to my shoulder just before 5pm, he was out. Nothing would wake him up. I even had all (5) neighbor kids running in and out of the house. That little guy cracks me up. I love him to pieces.

So that is just an insight about my day. Tomorrow is Lincoln's Friday WOO HOO!
