The little man LOVES the camera!
Trying to get four kids looking at the camera and
smiling is almost impossible.
Caleb's new pose and he wants to be center of
attention.
Wow! What a great Mother's Day. It started out with breakfast in bed, then we all got ready and went to church. When we got home I planted flowers with the kids and then they all made a wonderful lunch for me. To top it all off I got to take a nap. I love this day. I feel so blessed that God has chosen me to be the mother of these most wonderful children.
This was my first Mother's Day with Caleb and it was wonderful, but it did make me think a lot about his birth mother. I just want her to know the joy that I have had to be Caleb's mom. I am eternally grateful to her for the gift that she has given me. I think and pray for her often, for her safety, health, and well being. I wonder did she get enough food today? I feel such a bond to her even though I have never met her. I wonder what she is feeling today and how much she must miss him. I want her to know that he will always be cared for and loved. I want her to know that I will never let Caleb forget her or the country that he came from.
Just want to say Happy Mother's Day to the women that made the ultimate sacrifice for Caleb. I would like to be with you today, but since I can't I pray tonight that you will feel God's arms wrapped around you letting you know that Caleb is loved and cared for.

So sweet and heartfelt. I feel the same way for Etame's birth mom. I want to relieve the burden off her mind by knowing her baby is okay and well loved. I was surprised to see Holt embracing and coordinating sending birth mother's notes and communicating with them. Are you considering this? I've been thinking about it but doubt they will be able to get in touch with Etame's birth mother again.
I love your attitude here. You've got things in perspective. And, by the way, Caleb looks HUGE! When did he grow up so fast?!
nice pic but be careful...mary christ mas enjoy...
