Busy, Busy, Busy

                   Ever since the adoption we have been really busy doing so many things. We have been over joyed because of the adoption. Now when we say Aidan Lee its really Aidan Lee! That feeling is the best feeling ever oh and also knowing that no one can ever take my son away. Now I have a few problems with his medicaid and certain things but hopefully everything will be okay. We are taking the kiddos to Disney for Christmas. They are really excited! We are fortunate that we can afford to go this year. We have been trying to save and cut some things like i.e. mommy wants new flooring. One thing at a time. I got some sweet messages from some fellow DMD parents and some family that gave me encouraging words about what I did for Aidan. Stephen and me are very blessed to be able to adopt Aidan. He is an added pride and joy for our family. We weren't saying no to a third child but we didn't really make a decision about it but God had other plans for us. The reason I am a strong willed woman is because of one woman and I want you to know about her. Her name is Michelle but to me her name is MOM. My Step Dad and my mom started their lives without kids. We all moved out and they were traveling and enjoy life without responsibilities. That all changed. There were some circumstances that I will not go into but they were faced with three children that needed them. It was their grandchildren. My mom and step dad decided to take in these children and raise them. They didn't do it out of duty. They did it out of love. At first I think they had a period of adjusting with no children from not having young kids. (I'm the youngest and I was 20 at the time). They have raised these three kids for the past five years now but that's all the kids know is this life. Its not poor kids It's what great kids they are. I am strong because my parents show me that anything is possible and you put others before you. We didn't have to raise Aidan. We choose to do what we needed to do and what we wanted to do. We are faced with decisions every day and some times we take the wrong ones but the good ones are that much sweeter.



This is the sweet part
