Also, thank you for cheering for us when we announced about adding our sweet little daughter. The adoption process is full of ups and downs, and hearing people congratulate us, and support us, we breathed a sigh of joy, and it helps us keep moving fast! Thank you so much, really.
We have our work cut out for us, but we’re ready!
Now, off to enjoy these blissful first days of summer. Maria is cleaning her room, we’re all playing. I am SO glad she is on break, can’t wait to have her home.
Lyrics to Brave //
“Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave!”
