We witness a miracle every time a child enters into life
But those who make their way across time and miles
Growing in the hearts of those who want to love them
Are carried on the wings of destiny
And placed among us by Gods very own hands.

I'M SUCH A BAD BLOGGER!!!

My excuse?????

We spend most of our time in the family room with Tyler. His train table and most of his toys are in there......so, I'm on my laptop most of the time. The reason pics don't get posted is that my laptop takes to long to load them!!!! I have to get the time to get in the spare bedroom on the desk top computer to post pics ......and there is way to much for Tyler to get into in there!!!

I'm so behind!!! So much has happened! We have had our Gotcha Day(Christmas Eve), Christmas that lasted a week, New Years and Tyler turned 2 on the 3rd!!! I can't believe I have a 2 year old! It doesn't seen possible!

Stay tuned for Pics!

THIS KINDA CAUGHT MY ATTENTION.....

I FOUND THIS ON ANOTHER BLOG AND IT PULLED ME IN....THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE IT WITH YOU.
Trip to Australia

Deciding to have a baby is like planning a trip to Australia. You've heard it's a wonderful place, you've read many guidebooks and feel certain you're ready to go. Everyone you know has traveled there by plane. They say it can be a turbulent flight with occasional rough landings, but you can look forward to being pampered on the trip.
So you go to the airport and ask the ticket agent for a ticket to Australia. All around you, excited people are boarding planes for Australia. It seems there is no seat for you; you'll have to wait for the next flight. Impatient, but anticipating a wonderful trip, you wait—and wait—and wait.

Flights to Australia continue to come and go. People say silly things like, "Relax. You'll get on a flight soon." Other people actually, get on a plane and then cancel their trip, to which you cry "It's not fair!" After a long time the ticket agent tells you, "I'm sorry, we're not going to be able to get you on a plane to Australia. Perhaps you should think about going by boat."

"By BOAT," you say. "Going by boat will take a very long time and it costs a great deal of money. I really had my heart set on going by plane." So you go home and think about not going to Australia at all. You wonder if Australia will be as beautiful if you approach it by sea rather than air. But you have long dreamed of this wonderful place, and finally you decide to travel by boat. It is a long trip, many months over much rough seas. No one pampers you. You wonder if you will ever see Australia. Meanwhile, your friends have flown back and forth to Australia two or three times, marveling about each trip.

Then one glorious day, the boat docks in Australia. It is more exquisite than you ever imagined, and the beauty is magnified by your long days at sea. You have made many wonderful friends during your voyage, and you find yourself comparing stories with others who also traveled by sea rather than by air.

People continue to fly to Australia as often as they like, but you are able to travel only once, perhaps twice. Some say things like, "Oh, be glad you didn't fly. My flight was horrible; traveling by sea is so easy."

You will always wonder what it would have been like to fly to Australia. Still, you know God blessed you with a special appreciation of Australia, and the beauty of Australia is not in the way you get there, but in the place itself.

So you see... No matter what path we travel, how long it takes, only Good can come from it.

IS IT JUST A RUMOR........

OR WILL IT BE TRUE????

Last night on adoption.com I read that Guatemala may be opening adoptions to the U.S. again in January 2009....maybe. No one knows if this is true, some have heard this from different sources. You have no idea what kind of EXCITED feeling I got through my body:) MY HEART IS TOTALLY IN GUATEMALA!!!

Until something happens and decisions are made, please continue praying for the people of Guat. The government to make the right decisions in the best interest of the babies, for the birth mothers and everyone else that has been affected.

FOR NOW.....MY FINGERS ARE CROSSED AND I'M PRAYING THEY GET THIS MESS STRAIGHTED OUT SOONER THAN LATER:)
