The First of Many...Adventures of Ben & Jack

Although Jackson & Ben Cheng-Yu haven't bought into the whole friendship thing yet, I am sure they will eventually.

Mother's Day Moments

Happy 9 Months, Cheng-Yu!

I just wanted to have a record of some of my feelings on this special day.

I felt tears of joy swell in my eyes when...

• Scott told me Happy Mother's Day with Cheng-Yu sitting in his lap at the foot of the bed
• my sister & nieces called this morning to wish me a Happy 1st Mother's Day
• I sang a praise song with Cheng-Yu in my arms at church for Mother's Day
• I watched Cheng-Yu with his happy grandparents
• I opened Mother's Day cards
• I received text messages and emails from special friends wishing me a Happy Mother's Day
• I hugged my sister on this long-awaited day
• Cheng-Yu crawled half way up my lap for the 1st time
• I rocked Cheng-Yu to sleep

My heart has also felt other emotions.  I pray for Cheng-Yu's birthmother, who has been heavy on my heart today.  -A mother that is dear to me.  We planted flowers for her today.

Also-some may say that it is a coincidence, but I see more... Cheng-Yu turned 9 months old today-Mother's Day.
