I had a very busy weekend and I'm dead! Today we are meeting a friend that i had since the 4th grade out to dinner with his family...
I SWEAR I'M TAKING PICS this time! HA
On Sunday Abby and I went to Michigan to see my cousins that i haven't seen in 10 years...No EXCUSE for that long of time not seeing them! They only live 2 hrs away! SAD
They are my Mexican side of the family and it meant the world to see them again...AND WE HAD REAL MEXICAN food.....it was soooo wonderful...
Oh yeah and i didn't take a single pic but I'm going back in Sept and i PROMISE i will....
Such Grace?
And a whole LOTTA attitude!
My girl LOVES Sponge bob Square Pants...But I'm in love w/Patrick !
But looking back her sister Ashley used to talk to Red Skinned potatoes
~The world is but a canvas to the imagination.
We had her dressed in all white ..we kissed her and told her "We'd be back!"....
She saw her Foster Mother and got sooo excited...it was bittersweet! 
3 Months and 7 days later we came back to bring her home!
She was over 7 lbs..Look at the small feet!
She still has small feet! 
THE GIFT OF LIFE
I didn't give you the gift of life,But in my heart I know.
The love I feel is deep and real,
As if it had been so.
For us to have each other
Is like a dream come true!
No, I didn't give you The gift of life,
Life gave me the gift of you.
