Boxes drug up from the basement? Check! Placed said boxes randomly about the room with no rhyme or reason? Check! Put in chick flick and ready to rock the house Christmas style? Check!
An ongoing tale of our most excellent (and terrifying) adventure yet.. adoption via foster care. This is a journey Darling Husband and I started with Nantie ("Nanny-Auntie" - a blessing from above) in 2007. Although she moved in 2010, we miss her dearly and so appreciate all she did while here.
We also have a herd of rescued canines, fear the Lord and laugh a lot.
August, 2011: Seven amazing placements and a week after we were told LittleBuddy and SweetPea were available for us to adopt, my beautiful husband passed away. I am now a 40-something widow that is adopting a 7 year old boy and 2 1/2 year old girl as a single mommy.
In 1999, a year after my own mother passed away I found out I, myself, was an adopted county baby. Life has some ironic twists but we all seem to come
Full Circle.
This is our story.

Oh, it's BEAUTIFUL!
Now. Will you come do mine?
Ta Dahhhhh!
Looks beautiful.
One of my favorite things is sitting with the Christmas tree lights on at night when everyone else has gone to bed.
It's beautifully spiritual.
Perfect!
oooooh purdy!
Ok, not cut down a real tree (since I'm POSITIVE you have some round your parts) and bring it here and trim mine LOL
Perfect!! I like it. Merry Christmas!
