HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!
This is one of my favorite holidays. I whole day to be thankful for my greatest gifts from God. I feel so lucky and blessed to be called mommy. I waited so long and each of my boys was so worth the wait. Nicholas my first angel who made me a mom. I Love this boy with all my heart. He is such a sweet little boy. He is so smart and always thinks of other's feelings. He is a awesome big brother and Aaron LOVES playing Plants vs Zombies with his Nick Nack. A few years later God chose us to be Aaron's forever family. I fell in LOVE with him as soon as I saw a picture. I just knew that he was meant to be a part of our family. During the long wait for us to be approved and then for him to finally come home we were given the sweet gift of my precious Keagan. During the interview we were told about his history and the fact that he had Reactive Attachment Disorder. I knew in my heart I was meant to be his mommy. The very next day we got the call to come and pick up our sweet boy. It still breaks my heart to think about the fear in his eyes as I buckled him into his car seat in our car that first time. He was so independent but the very first night I picked him up, he smiled and put his head on my shoulder. LOVE!! He is the most affectionate little boy ever. I treasure each hug, kiss and "I LOVE YOU MOMMY from this special boy. Just a few short months later Aaron came home! It was so exciting to have him home at last. He had a very hard time adjusting. He was so loved in his foster home in Seattle that he missed his foster dad immensely. It took a few weeks for him to calm down and he has been the happiest little boy ever since. He has a lot of medical issues but he ALWAYS has a smile. We have a had a few close calls with Aaron and I have learned to take nothing for granted. I cherish EVERY second God allows me to have with my special little angel. Mornings are particularly hard for me when I don't hear him when I wake up. I beg God Please don't let it be today, I am not ready yet as I run to his room. Our last little treasure came to us just few years ago. Taevon finally made it home when he was 5 years old. I remember seeing his picture for the first time and I fell in love with him. He has been such a blessing ever since. It took a awhile to gain his trust due to his history of abuse and because he was not in a very good foster home in Tacoma. He has blossomed and learned to do so many new things. His smile lights up the entire room and I LOVE the sound of his sweet giggle. I LOVE to snuggle with him all afternoon. He is the sweetest little boy. I LOVE seeing him learn and experience new things in our happy home. I am truly blessed with 4 of the most amazing little boys ever! I thank God every day for my angels.
This Mother's Day was great. Nick and Keag made me the sweetest cards. They made me cry. We got to spend the entire day at home together. We snuggled in the morning and played games the entire afternoon. LOVE my boys!
