My 1st Mother's Day

It's official. I have now had my very own Mother's Day. All those years wondering if it was ever going to happen. It was a very nice day. Steve and the kids got me a charm bracelet and some very nice cards. The Monahan's got me some flowers and some lotion/soap. I can't say that I put my feet up and relaxex. When you have 2 the same age running around, I don't know how that would happen!!! I did however look back on the photos of our 2nd trip to Moscow. When I look at those photos, I can really see the changes occuring in the kids and how much Brooke doesn't look like a baby anymore. Their hair is growing longer and filling in a lot more....it's just amazing how much they are changing. Seems like forever ago that we brought them home. I did have a thought today on the women who gave these children up. I sat here and looked at both of them and thought how lucky I was to have them but how sad for the women who gave them up. I don't know what made me think of that but I did. I truly believe that these particular children were meant for me. That was the bigger plan.

The day was spent with family and friends and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way well maybe to have had MY family here and do the traditional Anthony's Homeport Mother's Day brunch. Who wants to do that with 2 11 month olds????!!!!
