The Epitome of Selflessness.

This sweet mama, Tara, wrote the most selfless post. It made me think of my Little Lovie's forever mom and his foster mom. Well, and his first Mama. What an amazing heart. So much grace.

"The Best Mama"

Easy Like Sunday Morning...

I cannot wait for this summer. For so many reasons. We have some fun things planned and also planning on not planning too much. Just like our Tokyo trip last summer. Nice, easy breezy. We're stopping in Paris for a few days on our way home. We've been trying to visit Paris for years now and something always changes our course. Disney Paris is also on the horizon. Mila will be so thrilled.
I have so much to look forward to. I'm feeling so blessed. But, as they say here: "Shway-shway", little by little, poco a poco. Easy Like Sunday Morning. My favorite attitude.










We will have friends from here visiting Miami for the first time. It'll be fun to show them around. They've been so good to us here; we hope to show them the same hospitality there.
We will be doing lots of swimming in my mom's pool. You see, my family has had big dogs ever since Mila was a baby. It was hard for us to use the pool because we were scared. We have a big dog, but they've been with each other from day one. Mila was a stranger to these dogs. We only go visit in the summers so they don't really have a chance to get to know each other. Well, now the dogs are not there and it'll be a great opportunity to enjoy Vovo's house. :) We also plan on lots of bike rides on the Beach. Our favorite thing to do when we first got married was to ride our Elektr@ cruisers to Bay H@rbor. Easy Breezy. Oh, and my cafes con leche from Moses Cafe a.k.a. Cachita's. Yuuuummm!
I've had a hard year. I need to put so much to rest and look forward to all the wonderful blessings that are presenting themselves to us.
Dawn... I really hope we get to meet finally. Maybe the girls can come over my mom's for a swim. Since you're neighbors anyway.

Praising God...

I’m happy to share that our little sweetheart has a family committed to adopt him. I am very relieved that we will know that he will be so loved. This is a wonderful family. He will have lots of sisters to play with and dote on him. He will even have a sister who looks just like him.  I am in awe at how all of this played out. The mom is a very dear person whom I already consider a friend. She is very real and very sweet. I feel so at peace and grateful. I can’t really put my feelings into words. She very kindly has expressed a desire to keep us posted on his life with them. I couldn’t ask for more. I know things might change in the future, but just knowing that this little person that means so much to us will be taken care of is such a blessing. I don’t have to wonder where he is anymore and what type of family setting he has. I know he is so cherished already.  I even have real hope of seeing him again one day. Meeting this wonderful family in person will be such a joyful occasion.
