first for me

this is a first for me. i have never blogged before. i was inspired by my dad and my sister to start this. i read their blogs and thought how great it was to have a place where thoughts, experiences, and just things happening at that moment were there to read. so i am starting a blog for myself and for my son and for those who are interested.

tonight my husband philip and i (mostly philip as i entertained our son, jesse) did some things around the house we had been talking about doing. it was so nice just to be together, making our house more homey. jesse was watching philip and i could just picture him in a couple years, handing his daddy the screws, helping in any way he could.

one of my moments of greatest joy is when philip comes home from work and jesse watches him come in the door and his face just lights up and he reaches for his daddy. it makes my heart melt.

i still have moments that i can't believe jesse is here and he is ours. we have waited so long for a child and God has so blessed us with our son, jesse. we adopted him almost a year ago and our life has been changed - more than we ever thought possible. we are so thankful to God, his birth mother and family, our family and friends, and all who walked thru this time with us.
