My Niece's Wedding







I wanted to show you some pictures from my niece's wedding. She was absolutely beautiful! Everything went well and I gained a great nephew! The picture with Zach awake is with Aunt Gina. Everyone was enjoying holding him and playing with him and of course he loved every minute of it. I was hoping for a dance with him, but he crashed as you can see in the other picture. That's alright, I took him out on the dance floor anyway. He had so much fun he crashed early.
It is so exciting having Zach here so that he can be part of these special memories. We have been home 13 weeks now and it seems like forever. I can't remember a day when he was not here. He is so much fun! He wakes up every morning with a big smile. He has turned in to quite the comedian these days. He will do something to see if he can get a laugh. If it works, he will continue to do it and then do a belly laugh himself. He has adjusted so well. I think from day one he has felt comfortable. All I have to say about that is "Thank you Lord for answered prayer". I am so blessed! When I am at work, I can be having a bad day and someone will ask me how Zach is and they say I just start glowing. Being a mom is just the most wonderful part of my life! I guess now I know what God's plan was for me. So, my advice to everyone is to try and be patient. God does have plans for all of us but they happen in his time, not ours. Trust me I know the waiting is the hardest thing. I waited for over 20 years for this and let me tell you that it is definitely worth it! And the timing is excellent. God knows what is best for us, we just have to believe in him!
Today I kissed an angel.
I knew it from the start.
The first time my angel smiled at me:
I gave away my heart.
Today I kissed an angel;
This angel child of mine
Though not of my creation,
My child by God's design.
Today I kissed an angel.
My heart is dancing wild;
My family, by a miracle;
Blessed by my angel child.
