preschool graduation
My baby is graduating preschool tonight. Off to Kindergarten next year! (Ben is going to K next year too. Sophie will spend one more year at least in preschool.) I remember the day Maia was born. Eric and I walked the halls at Mercy North Iowa Medical Center where he was a resident. We walked and walked. I wonder how many miles we put on that day trying to shake that baby out? We knew it was a girl. We knew she was Maia Catherine. Via ultrasound We watched her grow from a grain of rice to a kidney bean to starting to look like a real baby! Having lost a pregnancy before Maia we relished every kick, flutter and hiccup. My hair grew longer and lusher than it ever had. I dont think it was hormones though, I think it was love. Everything grows better with love. I was in love with my husband, my growing baby, a result of our love. I am still so in love with this baby. I pinch her cheeks and kiss her hands and wonder at how she has grown from a tiny sick premature baby to this bouncing 6 year old full of wonder and energy. Children are just a wonder. an incredible wonder. Every day I look at her and say WOW! who IS this child? she isnt that tiny baby. She changes every day. I used to ask her where my baby went. She would say baby all gone. and now, today, truly, baby all gone. off to kindergarten next year!

Jelly Bracelets!
1 for 3 dollars or 2 for 5! I have pink, green, and blue. Buy a bracelet and help us save three lives! Possibly 4! as you can imagine this is a huge undertaking as many people cant afford ONE international adoption. We have nothing left in savings. every penny is ear marked for this adoption. PLEASE help us raise the remaining funds we will need to get these girls home. Their future if left where they are includes horrors like prostitution drugs abuse or being sent to institution! Can you Look at those beautiful faces and tell me you cant help us save them from a future like that???
