This week is quite the week in our household - a fun week to be sure! My fifth anniversary fell on Friday, and our baby turned two. Funny how those two things combined can cause some nostalgia.
Reflecting back on our marriage has been a good reflection. My husband has been a blessing to me in so many ways. I don't tell him enough certainly. He has been a stronghold through many things, especially this year. We have fun together, and I think that makes a marriage a good one. We enjoy being together. And of course, we are able to be serious and make those big decisions that need to be made for our family and for our children. I'm thankful for my husband and for how much he loves me and for how much he loves our boys.
We have had a lot of changes in our home this year. We went from three children back to two children with the loss of our foster child. And that is something that has affected all of us. Something that we haven't necessarily grieved yet or gotten over completely.
But in the midst of all of that we have the ray of sunshine - our baby boy, who isn't so much of a baby anymore - today he turns two! He is such a special little boy. He loves everyone, he loves to give hugs, he smiles and giggles at everything and is quick to respond to the things around him that make him happy. He has fit into our family completely without any reservations. This year for his birthday, he is our child, fully adopted with all of the rights, responsibilities and privileges of any child born into our family. That, my friends, is a good feeling. He is ours! Now and forever!
God has done wonderful things in these past five years. He has shown us ways to complete our family when we weren't sure how that would happen since medically "normally" it wasn't going to happen for us. Now, we have two beautiful boys who are ours completely with no state intervention. We are just an ordinary family with a three year old and a two year old living busy lives, enjoying almost :) every moment!
