Our Story Sunday...Here and Now





These were taken today.

Tears of gratitude and a VERY full heart posting these pictures. We are far from perfect and we sometimes think Super Nanny could help us be better parents, but there is no doubt we absolutely love and adore our children to the ends of the earth and beyond. In this season of thanks, I am grateful to be a mother. I can't even tell you how grateful because I'm too grateful for words. And having two kids who already love each other so much is an added blessing.

Many of you may not know that Ruby's birth mother was given our phone number by a friend. That friend chose us from hundreds of profiles online. She told us that she always wanted a big brother and thought Carter would be a great big brother for Ruby. He already is.
There are no coincidences in this life.

We have witnessed too many miracles to doubt that.

Megan, your kids are adorable! Where did you get the shirts? emma's new baby is going to bring her a big sister shirt and i've been looking everywhere -- those are the cutest i've seen! (please don't tell me you made them unless you're willing to make one for me. :))

Shane, I have good news -- I am not that good! I bought them at the Carter's store at AZ Mills mall...but that was a couple of months ago. I hope you can still find them!

Oooo! I just found this link -- maybe you can still find this shirt at a Kohl's store...

They are just tender together! I too am grateful to be a mother.
Those outfits on them are P-E-RFECT! What great pictures.
I don't believe in coincidences either. Carter does make such a great big brother, I can tell. :)

I didn't know that's how she found you! That's wonderful!

Yep! Ruby's birth mom's friend found us on ParentProfiles.com and that happens to be the ONLY place we had listed our toll-free number. M, Ruby's birth momma, was able to reach us while she was in labor for our first contact because she had the number to call.
