We celebrated mother's day this past Sunday, but I was super lucky to get most of my gifts on Friday. I love my new flowers, real and home/school made. I also was honored with lovely poems. Here is a peak at the thoughtful gifts from my boys.
This is the newest family tree that was made by my Matty. This is extra special not only because Lauren's name is on it but because Matt put her name on our tree and was very proud to share it with his class and me.
I am anxiously awaiting an update on Lauren. I was hoping for one last week and am still checking e-mail constantly. I have been feeling sad for Lauren, knowing that since our last update she has moved to a foster home. I am thrilled that she is with a family, but I know that it is yet another move in her short life and could be stressful for her. I know that I will feel better once I see her face again.
I woke up the other morning with a new and
interesting feeling. I have been planning for Lauren to come home at some point in the future. IT was always felt somewhat far away. This summer
possibly next fall. I have been okay with it
because I knew going into this that the court process would take time and there is absolutely nothing I could do about it. Well, the other morning I woke up and felt "ready" for Lauren to come home. Although I have no new news and no known hearing date I feel in my heart ready. Now that my heart is clear and focused it is time for the fates to align and send Lauren home.
Congratulations to my brother Paul and Suzie on the birth of their second son! He was born 1 week early and weighed a whopping 10lbs 3 oz! We grow'em big in this family. I had the pleasure of hanging with Ryan's big brother William (20 months-ish)today. We was a sport going to school, the barber shop, Occupational Therapy, school pick up, and Karate.
