Sorry, everyone, today's blog is not about the funny things my family said or did today. It's not touching on the absurdities of my life. I was just thinking today that last March, I was perfectly happy with my family. I had 2 sons, and a great husband. 2 cats and a dog. I was turning 40, and knew that Mike and I would not have any more children. Life was good. We didn't even know that Zach or Molly existed. Funny how God has other plans for us. Anyone who has seen Zach interact with the family comments on how well he fits in here, he acts just like the rest of us. Everytime I see pictures of Molly, my heart melts. I just can't believe this was anything other than a Divine Plan for us. I must say I was nervous when Zach joined our family, lots of prayer and family meetings convinced us to take a chance and open our home to this little boy. I wasn't sure how our family would react as the news came out, with almost no warning that our family was growing and Zach would be here in a few days. Soon after we decided to look for our girl to complete us. I was beginning to despair, thinking a girl was not in the plan when Molly came into the picture, just at the right time to be included in our dossier. This week, after our big Port-A-Pit, I am feeling a peace that I haven't felt in a while. It can only be described as contentment. I love Steven and Peter with all my heart, but as teenagers, they just don't seem to need me so much anymore. Zach is my love bug, replacing the cuddeling that Peter used to do with me. And now my girl is waiting for us to bring her home. This just feels so right.
