A Day to Top All Days


Where to start....

#1- We have a brand spanking new nephew as of 11:00am Chicago time today. Hudson James was born, healthy and perfect to my brother and sister-in-law. Big brother D's world is now officially rocked! My fam now has 3 grandsons in the mix. We're so grateful that mom and babe are doing well. Congrats guys!

#2 - Tonight we celebrated our second adoption day with dude. He doesn't understand what that means yet, but it's an excuse to give him extra love and a kid-friendly dinner out to Red Robin. Balloons, plastic horses, crayons and grilled cheese. What else could a kid ask for? Time has gone by so rapidly, but we're more grateful today for the miracle of adoption than ever before. Where would our lives be without our little man? I can't even imagine.



#3 - It was 80 and sunny again today. 'Nouf said.

#4 - For the second night in a row, dude sat on the couch with us, insisting on holding my hand the entire time, to watch football. He claps, yells for the appropriate teams (Bears and Broncos) and asks "where the football team went" when it goes to commercial. Every now and then he'd look up at us and say, "Hi Mommy! Hi Daddy! We snuggle!" Priceless.

That's all the bliss we have to share for today.

First of all, congrats on year number two. We can't imagine our lives without Rylan either. In fact, I just had a lengthy discussion on the ins and outs of adoption with PR on the way to school this morning. Finally, I couldn't help but wonder just how much of that grilled cheese went into Rylan's mouth in one bite. I know he quite talented in that area :) See you tomorrow night!
