Not blinking anymore!






Ok, I am not going to blink again.

Seriously! I have no idea how...but Mia turned 3 last week, Logan is sitting on our lap top yelling at a computer game, IN PERFECT ENGLISH, Mike has a date to his high school homecoming dance and livy is turning 13 in a few months!!

Too much for this sappy mama.

Our baby turned 3 this week. It is hard to believe that Mia has been home almost 2 years. I remember our gotcha day like it was yesterday. She was so tiny, sweet and scared to death. We called her our velcro baby. Not much has really changed....she is still tiny, sweet and very reserved outside of family and close friends.

But what an angel. She is so smart, funny and beautiful inside and out. I can not imagine my life without her, without any of my kids. They are such gifts.

Given that September is the birth month of two of my kiddos, I want to especially thank Mia and Logan's birth moms for the incredible risks they took in leaving their babies at safe place for someone to find. They risked their freedom to help their children. They could have so easily taken the other road.... not only legal and free, but heavily encouraged for unwanted pregnancies.They could have aborted these precious babies.

I pray that God gives them peace and comfort, and that somehow they can know how loved and cherished Mia and Logan are.

Now off to do those mountains of laundry my precious angels have made while watching the 4th love of my life.....NFL FOOTBALL!!!! GO SKINS!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope all is well.

Love,
Claire
