Time keeps on sailing by...oh so quickly. Doo is nine months old today and Bug just had her 3rd birthday! We just can't believe how fast she is growing and all the things she is learning every day and that our first baby just turned three. It seems impossible.
As many of you know Doo had to be in our home for six months in order to do the court portion of the adoption due to TN laws and we celebrate that on July 23rd! It was an incredible day of celebration. She wore the same dress her sister wore for her adoption and we had many friends and there for the joyous day! Following the court hearing we had a big party with cake and several deserts and had everyone take a picture with Doo and each of them write letters to her for a book we made for the day! The pictures went beside the letter that each person wrote for her to read about her special day in the future!
Most of you know by now that adoption is extremely close to my heart...but today as I am writing this blog I am listening to the sound of my husband on the floor with my two beautiful little girls playing and the occasional outburst of laughter from their little bodies and all that comes to me is love. Love far beyond what I could ever convey in words. I know that God has richly blessed us more than we deserve and I am eternally grateful.
On another note, we also celebrated Bug's 3rd birthday in the mix of things! She was actually sick and not feeling her very best...but that did not stop her from doing the cake and icecream thing! Would it really stop any girl from eating chocolate cake? I think not.
We joined my parents and did a double celebration with her and my dad to celebrate both of their birthday's! They are 50 years apart! Sweet, huh? Those two are like two peas in a pod. Bug is blessed with incredible grandparents...whom she adores and the feeling is mutual. Popo and Baday are her biggest fans. Aunt Mu was there as well to celebrate...she took lots of pictures and is always there for extra loving for the girls! They adore her and Uncle A (who by the way is in the USAF and gone and deeply missed right now)! Needless to say Bug was showered with toys and cake and lots of love for her birthday!
We have had a busy last few weeks with a ton of blessings! Everyday holds a blessing if you allow yourself to see it!
Much love,
~K
Blessed and Adored
