Mercy's birthday

Yesterday was Mercy's 3rd birthday. Hard to believe she's already 3. I wish I could press the pause button on life. Everything is going way to fast. My "baby" is getting big. For her birthday breakfast she wanted Hello Kitty pancakes.

That afternoon we just hung out together as a family. Nothing special but a great day. The birthday girl wanted pasta and breadsticks for dinner. Then it was time for cake and presents. She wanted a hello kitty cake and I made a sad attempt at it. Who cares...Mercy loved it.

Happy Birthday, Mercy! We love you so much!

So how much did she cost?

2 years!

It's hard to believe it's been 2 years ago since I held Mercy in my arms for the first time. I will never forget that moment as long as I live. As soon as I reached for her she leaned into my chest and I began to breathe her in and look over her sweet body from head to toe. The same way I did with both my bio babes the first time they were placed into my arms. It's mommy intinct..the way God created us to be. The moment when she reached up and touched my face...ahhh, I was her mommy and she was mine.




What an amazing 2 years it has been.

Had to share this great adoption fundraiser

As most of you know I LOVE Matilda Jane clothing for miss Mercy. It's a funky little clothing line that I adore. A family adopting from China is having a raffle to raise money to bring home their daughter Keliah home. The prize is a Matilda Jane gift card! How cool is that! go check out their blog and buy a few tickets!
