New Year, New Attitude

This year for my New Year's Resolution, not only do I have my typical weight loss resolution, but I am also trying to adopt a new attitude. I have been in a rut of waiting for our baby to get here, and focusing so much on that, that I am missing some of the great things that I have. Don't get me wrong, I still can not wait to be told we have been picked and there is a baby ready for us, but instead of being sad that it hasn't happened yet, I am going to try to see that when it is the right child, it WILL happen. Adoption will always be a part of my life now, a big part, but so is my family I already have. I have the best son, and a wonderful husband, and they deserve the world. So here's to a new attitude! and hopefully it will make me a better mom, wife, and better person overall!

Christmas

Christmas was so much fun this year... Gavin is starting to be big enough to get excited. On Christmas morning, when he woke up, I said, "Gavin, Santa came! Let's go see!" He looked at me with fear in his eyes and said" He's not still here? Right?" I had to laugh. The little guy wanted the gifts but wanted nothing to do with Santa! After opening presents at home, we went to my sister Carrie's house with my family and then met up with Ryan's family at his parent's house. It was a great day.
