“A family can be anything as long as there is love.”

I will probably never know how is feels to have to wait longer than nine months for a baby. But having a baby in your arms no matter if you have waited 3 years or nine months, would be the most rewarding and beautiful experience a mother can imagine. God has a plan for all of us, but not a plan without trials. The trials God gives to us, where meant to make us stronger people. Enduring is not easy, but we will be strengthened. 

Brad and my great friends Sean and Reta Wallis, with there sweet little girl Shelly are anxiously awaiting to add to their already beautiful family. Reta is kind, and deserves to be a mother of 12! Her uplifting attitude, talents, and patience have made Reta to not only be a great friend, but a wonderful mother. Sean is a hard worker. Always providing for his family not only financially but through his loving attitude. He is a painter, and a teacher, both which he excels at. Can you tell I love this family?

If you or anyone you know is looking to give the gift of adoption, please have them check out Sean and Reta's site. They are no ordinary family.

Dear Owen

Dear Owen,

I can't believe you're 2 already!

I can still remember how it felt to feel and see you move inside of me... you haven't stopped moving since! That's one of my favorite thing about you, you just go and go and GO! You have so much love for everyone around you, and you show it your constant hugs, kisses, sharing your toys, and even your pleases and thank yous. Although your favorite word is "huh?" and it drives me crazy, I love everything about your sweet little voice. When you tell me you love me, my heart melts. I see so much in you. You are going to make a great man one day. 

I think God knows what children we need in our lives. Sometimes I need love, sometimes I need a friend, a lot of the times I need patience! You give me all. Tonight as I put you to bed, I leaned down to give you a kiss, and you wrapped your arms around my neck (wasn't really the most comfortable position) and you didn't let go.  Made me cry. I hope you never change. 

I can see my dad in you. Every time I look at you. You have his eyes. Lucky boy.

Your so smart. ABC's, 123's, you got them down!

I love to hear you sing. Your favorite song is" Jesus wants me for a sunbeam."

Although you think its SUN BEEP!

You are a awesome brother. You and Lily love each other SO much. You're best friends.

I want you to stay little forever, but I'm too excited to see you grow. For now though, just be my baby boy. Tell me you love me, hug me for hours, and give me enough kisses to last for the years you'll be too embarrassed to kiss me in front of your friends.  

Happy Birthday.

I LOVE YOU!
