On The Wings of Destiny

Somehow destiny comes into play. These children end up with you and you end up with them. We witness a miracle every time a child enters into life. But those who make their journey home across time & miles, growing within the hearts of those who wait to love them, are carried on the wings of destiny and placed among us by God's very own hands.

long over due

I'm sorry it's been so long, but life with a 2 year old is hectic! First of all , let me say how thankful I am to be blessed with a great husband and 4 great kids, it was a special thanksgiving this year.
Ok, jet lag kicked our butts. It was awful we felt terrible for 3 days, we are now back to normal I think. The older three kids have been such a great help to us, Leah has been pretty hard on them, so I know it hasn't been easy.
Leah is very attached to me right now and doesn't want to share me at all. She smacks and screams at anyone who tries to get her momma! She seems to be accepting Alex the best and lets him carry her around some. Poor Jenna gets the blunt of her smacks, I keep telling Jenna it will get better with time, she just says man Leah sure is rude!
It's been a week today that we have been home and even though it's still hard I see so many good changes in her. For one she is getting stronger, her muscle ton was pretty bad. She is eating some solid food! that is a big one for her. She has had some good times dancing with and following Jenna around. She trying hard to repeat words, very cute. She can say, good, momma, baba, sissy, thank you, kitty, dogga, bye, be nice (she hears that one a lot)nana and I think she said Alex yesterday.
I love her so much and can't wait to see her true personality start to bloom.

We are now hours away

We are now less then 24 hours away from leaving! I have exactly 4 hours and 15 minutes of work left until I return February 8th! Hopefully I will have a job to come back to.
We still have alot of things to do to get ready. I leave work today at 9:30, going to use my gift certificate Scott got me for my birthday to get a pedicure. Then have to go to the grocery and stock up on food for Adam, he will be staying at home for the 2 weeks we are gone. I hope he doesn't throw any wild partys while we are gone LOL!
I also need to finish packing Alex's clothes and I have two loads of laundry to wash and fold.
I thnk both sides of our family are stopping by tonight to say their good byes to us.
Jenna got teary eyed last night when she said you only have one more day before you leave. That is going to be realy hard to leave her. I'm so thankful my parents, brother and best friends have stepped up to help take care of her and Alex. That eases my mind some.

please follow the rest of our journey on the other blog address i put in my last post.

The next post here will be us home as a family of six!!!

Take care
