Dreams do come true

I seem to blog less and less anymore so when I say ‘I haven’t blogged in forever’… the 4 people that read this are probably tired of me starting like that, but oh well…

I haven’t blogged in forever and that’s in part because in August we were blessed with our daughter Eleanor. Ellie is honestly the best thing that has ever happened to me or to us as a family. I dreamed of becoming a father for so long and now that it’s happened I am enjoying every minute of it. I think I’ve fallen even more in love with Ron, by seeing him interact with our daughter. He is such a loving and nurturing person and seeing him with our girl just melts me…

And as most people already know, after it taking years to adopt and us intending to try again in a couple years, now that we have a daughter we were contacted by an old friend who is pregnant, and wants us to adopt the baby… And we are. So, we have a 4 month old right now and our son is due Jan 4th. To say that we are overjoyed would be the understatement of the year.

Imagine going from waking up each day feeling like you’ll never be a parent, when it’s something you’ve wanted your whole life, to not even 6 months later, having the complete family that you’ve always dreamed of. It’s simply amazing. I could not be more grateful.

I love my family!
