Mother's Day


Where do I even start? This Mother's Day all my dreams came true. It was truly a day I have longed to celebrate, with a baby in my arms, for years.

Emily asked me several days ago if I would celebrate the day with her and her family. Of course I said YES! We went to church as a family. We stood together when the pastor asked for the mothers in the room to stand. I can't imagine a better way to celebrate this special day...next to the girl that helped make me mom to Max.

Thank you Emily. You are one amazing girl. One amazing mom.

Baby Moses Basket


Max's first night in his baby moses basket.  Sleep tight.

Home From the Hospital




Sweet photos of Maximus getting ready to leave the hospital. Adorable!
We have a wonderful home to take Max to while we wait for the paperwork to be approved. We will most likely be in Tennessee for a couple of weeks.

Priceless


We have spent hours and hours at the hospital. The time has been both precious and memorable with Emily, her family and course little Max.
Colton and his mom came to town today. This picture is priceless to me. All of Max's parents in one room, in one photo. I know this is going to be one of Max's favorite photos someday.
It is already one of mine!

Thanks Just Isn't Enough


The woman that made it all happen. Yvonne.
Need I say more?

Love at First Sight


Our first glimpse of little Max. He is perfect. 
Sam and I arrived at the hospital together. What an amazing experience. Knowing that you are about ready to walk into a room and meet your son for the first time. I was so excited and anxious I was shaking. This was the moment I have waited years for. 
And let me tell you, it was love at first sight.
Maximus, you are absolutely perfect.
I am undeniably and unashamedly overwhelmed at God's faithfulness.
