Mother's Day 2013

This was Mother's Day weekend.   Macy and I had a wonderful, quiet, relaxing few days.

                                                        Quiet time with her Barbie"s

I read a quote on a friends Facebook that I wanted to share.


A child born to another woman calls me mommy.   The magnitude of that tragedy and the depth of that privilege are not lost on me this weekend. 

Four Years

Tomorrow is our Forever Family Day.   Four years since I first held my Amazing Macy in my arms, and gazed upon her sweet face in person.  I look at pictures of that day,  but it seems like another life.   My real life, is the wonderful life we now have.  It is the rush to get  her out the door to school in the morning. It is the wonder I feel when I watch her draw pictures, ride her bike, or help me stain the back deck.  It is her excitement every day when I pick her up from school.  It is the wonder she sees all around her.  Things that as adults we forget to see.  She makes me slow down and enjoy life.  She is my Macy.
