A Wonderful Mother's Day...

Jadyn and the boys (Jerry too) made my Mother's Day so special - I have to admit that having my little girl home at last made it all the more special! They made me a wonderful breakfast and allowed me to relax until my sister and her family arrived to visit. We had a great time introducing Jadyn to her cousins, Cody and Kyle, and her Uncle Brent. We enjoyed a great dinner while watching the Brewer game (they won!). Jadyn continues to adjust to her family so well - it is almost as if she has been with us from day one! I gave thought to Jadyn's birthmother yesterday and pray that she is at peace with her decision - I also pray that she feels in her heart that her daughter has been placed in a loving family; one that will care and provide for her every day of her life. We can not thank her enough for the gift she gave us!

Today, we ran to Target for a few items and then to the grocery store and Jadyn was such a good girl! She only cried a bit on the way to Target (we are getting better at the carseat), but didn't cry at all on the other trips. She sat in the cart at both stores and just babbled while we shopped. She was very happy and patient; we had a couple people ask us our "story" so we shared - their inquiries were with the kindest words and accompanied by congratulations so it was really nice. I'm sure at some point we will be faced with a not-so-nice comment or inquiry, but hopefully I will feel prepared to approach that statement with the right frame of mind when the time comes. Until then, we will just continue to love our little sweetie!
