http://marleyspeople.blogspot.com/2013/05/mothers-day-2013.html
The dog was just the beginning. Our journey to build a family through adoption and everything after. Friday, May 17, 2013. In the past, Mother's Day was filled with so much heartache. I yearned to have the thing that everyone else was celebrating and I cried because of the pain. This year on Mother's Day, I woke up to my husband saying "Tell Mommy, Happy Mother's Day! R (not so little anymore), T, and Mommy checking out the animals. He loved the big aquariums! I get to be this little boys Mommy! March/Ap...

The dog was just the beginning. Our journey to build a family through adoption and everything after. Wednesday, November 21, 2012. As we approach Thanksgiving. I remember what I am thankful for. I am thankful for the beautiful, brave woman who gave birth to our son. Her choice made us parents and made my dream of being a mother come true. I am thankful for our friends and family. The amount of support we received for our adoption and the continued support boggles my mind. We are so blessed! Somehow desti...

The dog was just the beginning. Our journey to build a family through adoption and everything after. Monday, May 6, 2013. Honesty. Being a Mom of a 9 Month Old. Honestly, I knew my life would change when I became a mom, but I don't think it really hit home until recently. We chase after him constantly now. He loves exploring and getting into things. He grabs dog toys, dumps over the recycling bin, and throws his food on the floor. Sometimes the only thing he wants is for me to hold him. H...I have cried ...

http://marleyspeople.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
The dog was just the beginning. Our journey to build a family through adoption and everything after. Monday, December 31, 2012. Although T may not have realized what was happening with Christmas, this mama certainly did. I felt at peace with my little man in my arms - I was finally a mother of a child on Christmas. It's amazing what that feels like. Of course, his favorite part was probably the paper eating. because everything goes in the mouth these days. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Love Makes a Family.

http://marleyspeople.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
The dog was just the beginning. Our journey to build a family through adoption and everything after. Saturday, June 23, 2012. I don't think I ever posted about my newest tattoo here. In January I made the decision that I needed a new tattoo. Something that was meaningful to this journey and something to keep my heart at peace during the tough times of waiting. There was a new email on our family email account, which we use for a lot of adoption related emails. Jumped out at me. At that point, all I knew ...

The dog was just the beginning. Our journey to build a family through adoption and everything after. Friday, August 30, 2013. Wait he turned ONE? I know, I've been horrible at keeping up with the blog. I had no idea that I would never have time to sit down at the computer! I can keep up with Facebook and Instagram just fine, because I have my smart phone. Updating a blog is a whole different story! Somehow, time has flown by. My teeny, tiny, sweet little baby boy turned ONE YEAR OLD on July 25th. We did ...
