Happy 3rd Birthday Ezra!

Once again I'm running behind -- Last week we celebrated Ezra's 3rd birthday! I can't believe he is getting so big. It seems like just yesterday we got him. He was 8 months old. I remember every detail about that day. Now he is 3 years old. He is a big boy. He loves to play with his brother and sister, he loves Mickey Mouse and his grandmas. We are so blessed to have him in our family.

Today's The Day We Got Mikey Day!!

Two years ago today my life changed yet again. Ezra had been with us for about 4 months, I had known I was pregnant for about 3 months. Life was great. On January 11, 2007 I got a phone call from the adoptions unit about a 3 week old baby boy they needed a home for. I assured the lady who called that I could not handle this, already having a 1 year old and also being pregnant. I'm not sure if what she said next was true intuition or if it was a desperate plea to find this baby a home. I would like to think it was the first. She said to me, "Please think about this .. I was supposed to call a different family on the list but I felt prompted to call you." How do you say no to that? After a quick consult with my husband we said YES! The next few hours were a blur. Our families thought we were nuts and we kind of thought so too, but as I walked into that office and saw this little baby my heart sank. It would still be a year and a half before the adoption would be final but in that instant I knew he was mine. Welcome Michael Andrew! We love you with all our hearts!!
