Mothers Day

Two years ago for Mothers Day we had just found out (a couple days prior) we were to be parents to the cutest little guy we'd ever laid eyes on.  Hugs go out to Benjamin's birth Mother on this day. I want her to know that her little guy has a home, a mommy, a daddy, and an extensive network of family and friends that love him so much and will be there for him forever and ever : )   

Last year we had hoped our little cutie would be home, but those wishes were quick to be laid to rest with major slow downs in the program. Hugs go out to Benjamin's Foster Mother for taking the time to love and teach him about being a kind, considerate and loving little boy. For being there when we were not and showing him what family is : )   

So alas we are are here again at Mothers Day and so very happy that Benjamin is finally home. His laugh and smile are infectious.  His chatter and sweet voice are music to my ears. His hugs, kisses and wanting to hold my hand just melts my heart. His transition to our family and ability to take on so much newness in such a short amount of time keeps me in awe.  

Friday his day care invited moms in for breakfast...that was a messy glazed donut treat. Then today was a fun day had by all though Fred had to work (sure he had more fun there).  Donuts, playing outside, train ride, lunch, more playing outside then inside then outside, DQ and early bed.  A jam packed day with no nap for Benjamin : ) 

Love you to pieces little man, thank you for making me a mommy : )  
To many more Mothers Days!

Thank you to my guys for the flowers
