There are times in our lives when people impact us so deeply, there’s no way to write their story without admitting that their story changed ours. That’s where I find myself. Last Saturday two incredibly beautiful people stood together amidst a forest filled with family and friends who would do anything for the precious people […]

This little boy… He melts me. His parents inspire me. And the beauty and miracle that is adoption overwhelms me. With love. Joy. Tears. And happiness.  To name a few…   To see more from their session, just CLICK HERE to view their SLIDE-SHOW.  And thank you Devin Bustin for providing the perfect song.

Dear Sweet Jayden,   You are my joy.  My smile.  My good morning hug.  My blonde ball of energy.  My 0-60 in .2 seconds.  My snuggler.  My comic.  My heart.  My “I-don’t-begin-to-have-words-I-love-you-so-much”.  My “excuse-me-while-I-melt-into-a-puddle-of-mush-you’re-so-precious”.  My how-on-earth-does-he-wake-up-so-early-and-yet-manage-to-be-so-cute. I missed you something fierce while you were gone.  (Although I’m sure you had a great time with Grammy […]

Dear Sweet Little Man,   As I watched you snuggle into your mommy, I could tell that you know: you have been loved since before you were even a thought.  It makes sense.  With a love so deep that it carried through heartache, shut doors and mountains of adoption paperwork for six years – I’m […]

He thought she was cute.  She thought he had great teeth.  (No really…she did.  And he does.) They exchanged numbers…and then…well…nothing. Until they finally got together for a run. He brought his ipod.  Just “in case”. There was no in case… He fell for her.  And she knew he was the one.  And before long, […]

Dear Little Miss,   Today we went through almost every emotion you have.  And probably most of mine.  And I got frustrated. But you know what?  I adore you. You are the one that made me a mom in the first place.  You are my unexpected little one.  You changed my life forever in the […]
