Thanksgiving blessings

Bless oh Lord in these thy gifts which we are about to receive from they bounty, through Christ our Lord, AMEN!

Dinner is served.

Thank you to my hubby who baked the turkey, made real mashed potatoes and all the fixings for himself, Julia and I. Yes, just the 3 of us. We are spending the day together and are loving it.

Thankful for family and friends.

I won't spoil this post, but I'll update about my job later.

Happy National Adoption Day 2009

Happy National Adoption Day 2009!

check out some of the good news and celebrations around the country.

We are so blessed to have adoption as part of our family and for the rest of our lives.

Thanks to open domestic adoption for our situation. Thanks to Julia's birthmother and birthfamily. Thanks to our families and friends that helped our dream of becoming parents come true!

For those trying to adopt or are thinking of it, ask me, it was a wonderful experience with our daughter's birth and Gotcha Day / Homecoming Day!

Check out the adoption ornament I got for myself and one for Julia to have when she grows up.

If you look at it on Macy's page, you can rotate it and see the 2009 on the other side. Very cool ornament this year.

I ordered with a free shipping option so look online for a free shipping coupon. Macy's did tell me they no longer carry these in their store so you have to order online from them. No problem. The cost is ok for a life time of memories.

CELEBRATE!
