The Loves of my Life

I use to be a romantic and believed that there would one day be someone that I would call the love of my life. Well, I don't think that it is true for everyone to have that love of their life be a boyfriend or a spouse. I believe that there is truly a love t everyone's life, if you choose to have one, or many. Mine happens to be my children. They are truly the absolute loves of my life. My absolute joys and my reason for breathing. So, because it's Valentines Day tomorrow, I want to share some cute, funny and beautiful pictures of all the loves of my life.

Liam is 12!

I can't believe that not only has Liam been home for 5 years (Wow!), but he has also just turned 12. I'm so proud of my sweet boy and all the things he has overcome in his life. Seven years without a family, being horribly neglected, and left alone in a Russian institution.... but he still trusts, seeks human affection, and laughs and loves. He's such a precious little guy, God knew he was meant for us! Happy Birthday Liam Josiah! You are so loved, so wanted, and so cherished!

That face! LOL

Merry Christmas 2016

We had a wonderful Christmas. The boys got some really fun toys and we had so much fun all day long! Dinner turned out great (ham in the crock pot). I am so blessed. I can't even explain how full my heart is. This year has had a couple rough spots but we made it through, and I'm just so thankful for my family. I am still in awe that God let me adopt three beautiful boys from Russia. My little extra special surprises fill me with such pride. Jimmy turned 30 this year, and to think that, at the time he was born, the adoption seed was planted in my heart. It only grew and grew. Getting my Master's degree in Special Education was huge for me, but it pales in comparison to my adoptions. There is never a day, that I don't think of where they could have been, and where they are now. Thank you goes to Jimmy for his little something extra, and to Ben for being such an amazing kid and up for anything, when it came to my wild ideas. Now, as I look back over this year, I smile at all of the love that we have under one roof, and also the love that lives in Ohio with Ben and the beautiful family he has with his darling wife Shelby, and their fur babies. It will only continue to grow and grow. And now, on to our Christmas pics. Thank you Jesus!

This picture does not do the canvas, justice. It turned out very nice!

Jimmy saw "Max Goldman" socks at the store and just had to have them. LOL
