Meet baby A. His mom, Sarah, and I were college roommates and she and her husband have been anxiously waiting for the day they could meet this little guy and welcome him home forever. This weekend , one short flight away, I was able to meet him , too. My friend and I couldn't help but continue to be amazed at this little person, and in awe of God's blessings in our lives. How can you look in that sweet face and not be amazed?
My friend and I have experienced all that life has to offer over the years ..
a Guinness ( or several ) while we lived in Ireland together
a car mishap ( I drove into a construction site in the pouring rain.. not my finest moment )
the heartbreak of loss
a few too many Lifetime movies
ridiculous weight gain ( those silly Europeans with their incredible chocolate and fine tasting beers)
innumerable hugs and belly busting laughs
and the incredible journeys of love and marriage
But nothing thus far has compared to seeing my friends become parents. I love you guys, and I am excited to watch your little man grow and learn , and I feel blessed to be a part of his life and yours!
Not only are my friends great parents, this is their pup who is becoming a Leader Dog through The Seeing Eye. The first puppy they raised is already hard at work as a a Leader Dog. He was dressed up and ready to be a part of the Halloween Parade.
Anyone who knows me, knows what a big proponent of adoption I am , and will always be..
if you are in the Ann Arbor area, look into these agencies...
