HE has my heart!

Last night I was holding Vahnya like a baby he was tired it was past bedtime. As I held him he just looked into my eyes like a newborn baby does when you feed them their bottle. you know those bonding moments. Mike teasingly says to me, "He's not a baby" I said, "Oh yes he is, he is my baby and he never got to have these moments with me his mommy when he was a baby." We are making up for lost time. I can not tell you how these little moment fill my heart. As I write this I am in tears, this little boy as all of my children are is a part of me. He may not have my blood but he sure has my heart and I am so blessed to get to be his mommy.

After almost a year since we first traveled reality has set in!

Last night I was cleaning our room and found some stuff from our travels to Russia and for some reason it just hit me hard tears came to my eyes and I thought I can not believe that we did that! I can not believe that Mike and I of all people stepped out of our little safe world and traveled to Russia three times! That we flew so far away and actually did that! Our little boy is actually with us now and he is ours! wow!



It is funny how it took so long to sink in, it was like this overwhelming disbelief that we actually did it. If you know us at all you know that we are not too adventuress we go to the same restaurant, shop at the same stores, so on. We don't step out and try new things much, so for us to go to Russia was huge! all I can say is that it was all God! We could have never done it with out him and we would have never even tried. I am so happy that we did.

Meeting some Reeces Rainbow friends

 We got to meet the Hagler family tonight at play group they just moved here to portland. we get to love on sweet Sasha and Ana.They were adopted thru Reeces Rainbow just like Vahnya here is their fsp http://reecesrainbow.org/sponsorhagler I had blogged about Sasha back when he was still listed on RR and needed a family so it was neat to get to see him. I am sure we will become  great friends with the Haglers now that they live in Oregon.  Vahnya Ana and Sasha are all about the same age look how cute they are.

Vahnya's first pumpkin patch

Vahnya's first pumpkin patch. We had so much fun at the Flower Farmer pumpkin patch. We went on a train, we got to pet farm animals, play on the hey stack and pick out our pumpkins, Vahnya had so much fun.


I remember last year standing in that same pumpkin patch dreaming of my little red haired boy running around. last year at this time we hadn't even met him yet. I can't imagine our lives without him now. GOD IS SO GOOD!
