Last night while sitting with Luke at bedtime he told me that he now knows what he wants on his birthday cake.  His birthday isn't until December but I guess his wheels have been turning thinking about it because we went to a birthday party yesterday morning.  "What?", I said.  Then he proceeded to tell me what quite possibly may the cutest thing ever.  Enough to melt my heart:  "A picture of mommy and daddy"!  Oh, sweet one, you have no idea how much you are loved.

I think yesterday was as close to perfect as you can get.  John let me sleep in, we went to a birthday party, home to do yard work and boat cleaning (can't wait to get it into the water today!), laying on the hammock in the gorgeous weather while the kids played in water, then a date with the hubs at Deluxe (where I had tuna, my fave) followed by ice cream at Kilwin's.  Life doesn't get any better.  Thank you, Jesus!

Still waiting to hear about the BM and the choice she makes.  Praying it is our family but also praying that God's desire be carried out.  I am emotionally pregnant.  and it feels so good!
