Christmas surprise

We got a big surprise at the Wojcik Christmas party. Everyone brought out these presents with no names on them. They then told us that thy were for us. It was a little baby shower. Maria and I had a tough time holding back our emotions. It has been a pretty tough time for us recently and this was pretty amazing. Right when we were feeling so lonely, our family shows us that we are not alone and raises our spirits and hopes again that everything is going to work out. We cat thank you enough. The best part was a little baby doll that Taylor picked out. It is a little African American baby. So cute.

    Take all the support you can get from the family! It certainly helps to make the time go by, at least it did for us. The paperwork sucks, but in the end, it's worth it. Good luck - call if you want talk or get together next time you are in town.

Not only is a new world possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day I can hear her breathing.

Gratitude


Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.

It turns what we have into enough,

and more.

It turns denial into acceptance,

chaos into order,

confusion into clarity....

It turns problems into gifts,

failures into success,

the unexpected into perfect timing,

and mistakes into important events.

Gratitude makes sense of our past,

brings peace for today

and creates a vision for tomorrow.
