Becoming a Family

Ok, I know it's been a long time since I've posted......but I guess you can say I've been busy being a Mom. Matthew was placed in our home exactly 4 months today and what a roller coaster it has been. I can see now that no matter how hard you try and plan for a child you are never truly ready for the change that he or she brings into your life. I have learned so much in these past 4 months, it's unreal. I know now that as a parent, I will never be 100 percent perfect, but all I can do is be the best parent I can be and love my child unconditionally.

Matthew is a very smart little boy. He loves to laugh, play with his trains, work on puzzles, and read. He also loves to play with his best friend/cousin Zay. We have worked very hard at becoming a family and with each passing day I can see that little by little we are making progress!!!

I just want to say "Thank You" to our family and friends who have and continue to support and love us during this transition period. We are so thankful to God for bringing Matthew into our lives and for giving us the opportunity to be his parents.

Matthew turned 3 in May, he had a great time at his birthday party! Here are some pics of him at his party and playing with cousin Zay and Wyatt.
