My baby turns one next Friday and this one is hitting me hard, but who knows God always seems to have different plans than we do, so maybe there will be another precious gift.

I could describe him in many ways as you've described Hal, even down to the training wheels at 3 part! I am so blessed to be his Mom, he makes me SO proud and as a biracial child has turned SO many cold hearts warm. He is a straight A, honors student, loves his sisters deeply and makes me proud every day. Congratulations to us Boy Moms!Erika Koleckihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08496387727590965066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7893097126776917798.post-7664434353969809442010-03-11T06:20:47.990-08:002010-03-11T06:20:47.990-08:00Happy Birthday, Hal!!

Time does fly faster than us Mama's would like. <br />Thanks for your encouraging words you left about the AGCI phone call yesterday on the Listserv. Your thoughts and experiences help bring a positive perspective to all us waiting to bring our little ones home.<br />I feel as though God is sending us all on a mission trip to love on the babes and staff at Hannah's Hope and then we get the privilege to do it again several weeks later! God is always so busy and we get to join in!<br />Thanks, Kristi.<br />AmyAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15092944528417689172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7893097126776917798.post-15724195603966669762010-03-11T05:59:35.565-08:002010-03-11T05:59:35.565-08:00Happy Birthday Hal!Happy Birthday Hal!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01792912615995204430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7893097126776917798.post-43153863049910769342010-03-11T05:40:03.452-08:002010-03-11T05:40:03.452-08:00Happy birthday to your Hal! :-D He really was quit...Happy birthday to your Hal! :-D He really was quite the breathtaking newborn. WOW!!!<br /><br />And isn't it amazing how God closes one door but opens another? I have no doubt that LL was meant to be your daughter. And you needed to lose K's referral for it to happen.

Trucks, planes, bugs, dino's.... my boys have made me into a more outdoory girl for sure! And that is so special how he loves his Lucy Lane. I pray for that kind of relationship for my oldest son with our adopted daughter. Neat!!!<br />I am sure that was so difficult to lose that referral. But it does seem with adoption, God has a master plan. Wonderful when I see it played out!Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11445335657900834577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7893097126776917798.post-36695912101237061862010-03-11T04:56:19.295-08:002010-03-11T04:56:19.295-08:00Happy Birthday Hal!
