My Beloved Chessie

I haven't posted in a while, but I do need to write that my beloved dog, Chessie, passed away in her sleep on the 18th of May. She was my beautiful sweet girl for five years. I rescued her from the Chesapeake Bay Retirever Relief and Rescue organization. At the time, she was believed to be about 6 years old and had been contained in a cage for several years used only for breeding. We gave her so much love and she gave us memories that will last a lifetime.

Waiting and Longing.....

Waiting and LONGING.....
I hold you in my heartand touch you in my dreams. You are here each day with me,at least that's how it seems.I know you wonder where we are...What's taking us so long. But remember child, I love you so and God will keep you strong. Now go outside and feel the breeze and let it touch your skin...Because tonight, just as always,I blow kisses in the wind. May God hold you in His hand until I can be with you. I promise you, my darling, I'm doing all that I can do. Very soon you'll have a family for real, not just pretend. But for tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind. May God wrap you in His arms and hold you very tight. And let the angels bring the kisses that I send to you each night.

Mailed Home Study App

Today I mailed our application to begin our home study! I also received a call from our case worker/social worker from WHFC that has been assigned to assist us with our adoption. Today my husband and my daughter are home with a stomach bug!!! Luckily my son doesn't have it and was able to go to school. Since today is my day off....not much getting done except playing nurse....which of course I don't mind. Keeping it short today since I have so much to do.

First Blog!

Well today is my first day at "blogging". I have spent so much time setting up the blog and figuring out how to edit things that I am now just about out of time! I have to go pick up my daughter at school. My son is sick at home for the third day in a row with me. A little bit about myself before I sign off........my husband Bill and I have been married for 13 1/2 years. Nine years ago I delivered quadruplets after many years of infertility. Our children were born in the following order: Zachary, Sabrina, Brett and Lucy. Our kids were teeny tiny and 13 weeks premature. Though the doctors did all they could, two of our children, Lucy and then Brett passed away. Our surviving quads, Zach and Sabrina are happy healthy 9 year olds with minimal health problems. We have recently signed with WHFC to begin the adoption of a toddler from Ethiopia to add to our awesome family! Until next time...........
