Yesterday was spent in the kitchen... baking pies, singing songs, feeding my children. It was rich and rewarding. I recently read how stability and love inform one another and bring a deep rich contentment that is hard to explain. It brings me a "calmness of heart that allows a deeper, slower growth."
Never could I have imagined that at Christmas 2008 I would be awaiting the arrival of my fourth child... a child born of another woman... who is now dead. I look at our daughter this Christmas in pictures taken by a loving caregiver. She is so beautiful. I am eager to welcome her into life with us..

bless you and yours as you make the journey of adopting. I am so moved by your generosity of heart.
As we begin 2009, just want to say - you are a good husband, a good father, a good son-in-law, you are a good man.
