Adoption...and other stuff

for some reason writing on this blog, which at one time brought me a lot of joy...has turned into a chore. Why? there could be so many answers to that question...probably the first one would be...i have four children and i'm worn out all the time. yep....that probably sums it up :) however, at this particular moment...i am alone (yes, you are reading correctly) a-l-o-n-e. this doesn't happen very often. i am sitting in my parents living room. grey, the twins and my mom are sleeping. my dad and rylee are at the church for a rehearsal of some kind and me...i'm sitting here alone...in the quiet, just me and my thoughts. so i thought i would share some.

i am still basking in the joy of the adoption of our son, Grey Matthew, who we adopted this last thursday. i feel like our family is finally whole and complete. it is a fabulous feeling and i feel so very blessed. i have an amazing husband and four beautiful, healthy children who were ordained by God to be ours. we have amazing parents and siblings. i still have all four of my amazing grandparents! our friends are the best anyone could ever hope for! we love our life in Houston and our church family! and most importantly, i have an amazing God who shows me love and grace every day of my life. life is not easy, but loving and being loved has to be about the greatest thing God has given us. so, you see, i feel amazingly blessed this holiday season!

on a different note...today is my baby brothers birthday. he is 24 years old which is soooo hard to believe. i will never forget the very first time i saw him in the hospital. he was so tiny that he fit in a stocking. needless to say, he no longer fits in a stocking :) he is a college graduate and works for a production company and i am soooooooo proud of him! so, happy birthday, bubba!!!! i love you!


to anyone reading this blog right now...may your christmas be filled with family, friends and most importantly the love of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!!!
