I Will Post a REAL Christmas Post, I Promise!!!

I will post our pictures from Christmas (which to be honest were not that many since I worked and did not get to spend very much time with my family!) But it was such a joy to have Collin with us, and have him be ours. This last weeks has been a busy one for our Mom/Baby floor. We have actually had a LOT of adoptions, but we have also had a VERY ugly adoption horror. I am not allowed to go into details, HIPPA prevents this, but it really took an emotional toll out on me, and many others. Too many others really. It was sad to see something so ugly in regards to something that is so close to our hearts, and where adoption can truly be a beautiful and wonderful experience. It made me hug Collin a little closer. Even this morning, at 4 am when Collin woke up screaming, I just held him, and loved that I had a reason to be awake. Collin is such a happy part of our life. He is the reason my house is not in order (and I am convinced will not be for a long time) and is the reason Mike and I can sigh a sigh of happiness each night as we rock him to sleep. So I hope you all had a Merry Christmas, and if you have not already, take the opportunity to look around at those you love and let them know how much you love them. Life is so short. We know this all too well, as do so many others. So here's wishing each and every one of you a Happy New Year!!!!
