I love taking this trip with you guys!!...Sturgeons! I love taking this trip with you guys!! It gives me goose bumps every time I read!! I know this little guy will have the best parents because well you guys are basically my parents!! I was in hobby lobby buying a baby gift for someone who just had a baby and I wanted to get something creative... Well I found this picture frame!! The quote is soooooo good! I wish I had it memorized! "Children are special. They grow an change. Children question everything. Children laugh, frown, grin, cry and smile. Gildren give meaning to silly things, small things and big things. They give meaning to us. They teach us to be open again, to appreciate everything and to take nothing forgranted." I decided I would get this for them because its their first baby, not that I have a kid but I kinda have been a mommy to about 40 kids in the last 3 years and I have given up a lot of experiences but gained way more then I ever would have, just as a high school student it was hard to see that at the time, good thing I can always look back! :) God granted me patience through out all of the struggle! You just have to remember that the storm will always pass!! :) Sometimes you just have to take a step back and say 'is this as big of a deal as I am really making it'... The time I did this helped tremendously!! We had a snow day so Leigha let me sleep in. Well my mom called...we have caller ID so L knew it was her so its was ok to answer... My mom had L convinced that it was time for daycare just by bringing up "you get to go to daycare all day today because no school!" so she woke me up and in 7 min we were in the car tring to get out of the drive way! By the time we got out of our normal sized drive way we were completely going forward, started going backwards! I should have known then that this is not a good idea! but I would do anything for L so we were off to daycare! We got stuck a couple times trying to get out of the development but made it up to the stop sign to get on rice/brandon road but the lady in front of us got stuck so I said we are going to go home, I cant do this right now Leigha. A sad little girl. On the way back we couldnt get up the hill. I was crying and screaming my head off at her. I finally stopped when we were both in tears. Then I asked myself that question. No it wasnt as big of a deal as I was making it, besides the fact that my car was in the middle of the road, on a hill! I called my dad he was on his way to help. A couple min later I talked to Leigha and said sorry for what I did. I still hurt to this day for doing that to her. L and I played some 5 year old games in the car! :) how fun is that! Thank god for that time that no one can take away from us! I think about it often! I always try to think of the times that no one can take away from us, of course they are moments which I am very greatful for! :) I have so many stories and I loved my times being "mommy" so I am sure you will enjoy them too! :)andersonk_3https://www.blogger.com/profile/01834892292831677165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915278060057666302.post-36188665207198717252010-08-31T18:59:10.404-07:002010-08-31T18:59:10.404-07:00I just found your blog from the Holt forum.

We are also from Sioux Falls and just received a referral for a little boy through Holt this month. How exciting to know there are other families with little boys from China in Sioux Falls.
