This morning, Zack woke up to a Christmas tree in his living room! Since Rich had a 5-day weekend, we decided to put up our tree and Christmas decorations.
All we heard for a good 20 minutes was, "OH WOW!", and, "OH YEAH!"
I can't believe how tiny he was last year!
"Helping" me put ornaments on the tree, which consisted of tossing the ornament AT the tree and then doing a little victory dance.
My mom gave me this ornament the year I moved out on my own.
Gramps was happy to have the tree up.
Last year, Bailey wouldn't even come in the living room because she was afraid of the tree, but she's come a long way since then.
Rich and I have been happily in love since 2000. After unsuccessfully trying to have kids, I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and, therefore, we cannot have biological children. We adopted our son Zack through a private adoption from a family member. We hope to someday grow our family further, but for now, we are soaking up every second with our little man. We are also foster parents, which can be both very rewarding and very challenging...but we do our best. We are currently in the process of adopting "Lil' Baby" from the foster system. We've been blessed to have both of our children since they were one day old.
"Every happening, great or small, is a parable by which God speaks to us...and the art of life is to get the message."
