I'm SURER than you are!

Caleb: Mom, I want my hair to look like Daddy's!
                        Me:  Are you Sure you want to buzz your hair?!?
Caleb: I'm SURER than YOU are!

 I gave in. My son had his very First buzz cut today! Oh my goodness, I think I almost cried! :)
He has been bugging me all summer to let him buzz his hair like Jon's, but I just didn't have the heart to do it. But today, I tried to remember that my son is growing up and can make his own decisions (on some things), so...



   

He definitely looks different to me. I already miss running my hands through his floppy hair. But Caleb, is still the same little boy, short hair or not. In truth, I am kind of enjoying being able to see his facial expressions better. If you know our little boy, you know he makes MANY fun expressions!






Caleb's words have been ringing in my ears since he said them this morning... "I'm surer than you are". How many times a day do you think God says that back to us? Most likely a lot, although maybe with better grammer.  :)  I'm already seeing evidence that God was saying it to me two nights ago when I wrote my last post! Good stuff. Good stuff indeed.



Now off to enjoy the sprinkler....
In Christ,
Mara

Four years.

Four years. Four years ago today, our second blessing jumped into our arms for the first time. Four years ago today, these two became brothers and best friends. Four years ago today, all our worlds changed. And yet, how can it have only been four years? Feels like he has been our son from day one. The Lord blessed us ten-fold the day we met you, my son, our Tope. My world is better with you in it.

Love & attachment

As I hug and kiss my son goodnight (for at least the third time, 2 hours past his bedtime!) I can't help but think about my other children. How I long to hold them in my arms, kiss them goodnight, show them how much they are loved, let them know that I will always be their mother. Yesterday Jon and I attended our first education meeting. This was put on by our local agency conducting our homestudy. The focus of this meeting was to talk about what to expect once our children are home. We learned a lot about "triggers" for our children - when life could be more difficult, we also learned more about attachment issues, and we learned/discussed what it will be like for our children to live in a "white privileged" family & neighborhood. Since this education, my mind has been swarming with many different thoughts. Many I'd like to try to convey into my writing, although this may take a few blogs. Tonight, as I work on getting my son to go to bed - and Stay ...

Davao Day 3 - Our Forever Family!!!

We would like to announce our newest son to the world! Christopher Andrew  Christopher, aka Tope (Toe-pay), is a delight to behold. We are incredibly blessed to have him in our lives. If his smile doesn't melt your heart, then his big dark brown eyes will.  He is a five year old that has a Great sense of humor and is already quickly melding into the family. His laugh takes my breath away. His hugs are like a warm blanket. And we are so thankful to call him our son. We hadn't even made it into the opening of the gate before Tope ran over to meet us. He quickly jumped into Jon's lap and there he stayed, looking almost shocked and yet content to be with his Daddy. He almost looked like he was going to cry. He clung to Jon for a very long time. What a blessing! One of the caretakers had him put on his shoes, of which he tied himself! He is already such a big boy!  We made our way to the office to sign papers and receive papers. Tope talk...
