Cathartic day

I am overly blessed by such beautiful people in my life. Thank you for your outpouring of love and prayers through this process. Your encouraging words are taken to heart and will stay with me always.

As this is the last day of my official holiday break, and I needed some cathartic activity, I decided to do two of the things I love most, well I suppose it is three actually...

1.spend time with my handsome boy, Caleb
*pics from Christmas Eve - he's so much fun!

2.sew
*there is a purple "Big Sis" shirt already at their house... I'm going to be an Aunt again!!! 
I decided all three of them needed a shirt! So excited to see them in it...
**note to Katie - would like a picture please.  :)
***Caleb helped pic out the fabric for the "Lil Sis" shirt. All fabrics were from Owie Owl scraps!


3.sing & dance
*This video was actually recorded about a month ago, but Caleb and I did sing this song today as well. 
Not sure what it is about the song, but Caleb absolutely loves it!

--------------------------------

While waiting for the video to upload, Caleb and I ran the dog to the vet for an appt. and then went to the store, where I stood in the Lego aisle for ONE HOUR waiting for Caleb to make a decision. He has been saving up his money to buy his "very own set". He was one excited little boy. He kept saying, "this is just so hard to decide." We went through multiple different boxes, combination of boxes, back to the same boxes, and then ended up with a Marvel Super Hero set that....well truthfully... Mom and Dad are really excited about! Legos have always been cool, but in the time since we were kids, they've REALLY become cool. So happy I have a boy and another one coming soon! (not that girls don't play legos mind you!!!)

We are now busy finishing supper and building Legos, then Caleb bedtime, followed by maybe some more sewing...
Good day I'd say  :)

Hope you all have a great weekend! Maybe I'll finish putting away all of our traveling bags and boxes and then upload our Christmas pics....  we'll see how motivated I am this weekend....

In Christ,
Mara

Siblings not by choice

Siblings.  Not by blood, not by choice, not by the perfect of circumstances. Siblings. Placed together by the hands of God. Placed together through love. May not get along through many circumstances, but love each other with a love most will never understand.

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 ...

That feeling

It happened again. In church of all places. A place where a heavy heart should be thrown out of the window. A place where envy isn't welcome. A place where I should be reminded, more than any place else, that I should trust God. That  icky feeling happened. The feeling where I question God. I wonder why . The feeling where I envy the pregnant lady. I envy the families with multiple young children. I envy the baby being held. I pretty much despise this feeling. I hate how it feels when it creeps up into my mind. I dislike the water that starts pooling in my eyes. And I feel like such a fool for having such thoughts. The blessings in my life are beyond measure, especially when it comes to my wonderful little boy, Caleb. But I still question - "why?" What do you suppose is God's answer when I ask? Is He scoffing at me and saying "not this again Mara." Is He pleading with me, "would you just Trust?" Is He rejoicing, saying "I'm th...
