Friday Quick Takes (53)

Anna was whacking Anthony with a balloon today and he was cracking up.  I asked her to stop hitting her brother and she said, "Anna not hitting, Anna bonking."  Oh, okay, then I guess we're fine.  Stinker!

We scored a cute princess trike at a garage sale.  Anna loves her bike!

  Every time I walk up for communion at Mass, as the priest is giving Anthony a blessing, he shouts, "Hi!" and grins his irresistible grin.  It always makes the priest smiles and I'm sure it makes Jesus smile as well.

We've enjoyed a few family walks and bike rides this week.  We actually had a few nice weather days in a row!  I love spending time with my little family!

Happy Baptism Anniversaries to my babies!  Both of our children so far have been Baptized on Mother's Day.  

 

 (And here is where I had super cute pictures of my kids with their godparents and for whatever reason, it won't load them.  No matter how many times I try)

Tomorrow is Birthmother's Day.  Our agency is having a balloon launch again this year.  We are attending with Anthony's birthmom.  The kids have made her a special flowerpot and cards.  We've also made a card for Anna's birthmom that she will hopefully be able to give her one day.  We are so incredibly thankful for these two women who have touched our lives in such an unimaginable way.  And I pray in a special way for the future birthmoms that will hopefully touch our lives.  Their sacrifice for their children is truly admirable. We feel so blessed to have adoption be such a huge part of our lives.  Adoption is the reason that I get to celebrate Mother's Day again this year.

Happy Mother's Day to all this weekend!  Especially the mothers in my life.  And a special prayer for all those women who have lost a mother, mothers who have lost a child, mothers who have undergone miscarriage(s), and all the women who so desperately desire to become mothers carrying the burden of infertility and those waiting to adopt.
