1 year ago, these three little changed our lives forever.
I cannot believe it has been a year since we got the kids. Our lives forever changed. After 12 years of trying to have a family, we are now a family of 5 with a mini van. Who would have ever thought!?!
Even though it has not always been easy, it has been a true blessing. These three kids are amazing in every way. I mean, they were ripped away from their bio family and was expected to live with strangers and to call their home a home and their families a family. They did it with grace and almost without skipping a beat. Truly amazing!!!
I almost can't even remember life without them. Instead of just the two of us, we now have to think of them as well. Going out of town for a last minute weekend trip, not happening. It takes a little longer to pack and prepare. Food...oh Lord help me...our grocery bill has tripled. Great gas mileage car...no longer...we now own a mini van...which by the way has been amazing. Me working for extra income...I struggled being a working mom during the tax season. Yes, I love my job, but I also wanted to be at home with my babies. Joe is a great dad. He has far more patience than I will ever have (although I am working on it.)
Our lives changed the minute these kids walked up our driveway. We fell in love with them right away. They are cute, funny and smart. We are very lucky to call them ours.
WE LOVE YOU RAVEN, NADIA and CARSON!!!
