We may or may not ever be able to make an announcement that "we're pregnant"...but we have come to understand that the blessing is the fact that however parenthood happens, it is a miracle! ....... Now we have been home with our precious blessing from Russia since August 2007. Join us on our fun and crazy ride that we call "life with this child of mine."

This Afternoon
I went to pick Iliya up from school, and a little girl came up to me. With all seriousness, she said, "Hey! Are you his grandma?"
Grandma?
I mean...I know I'm getting older but.......Grandma???
Kids have NO concept of age. I remember when I was little my best friend asked me how old I thought her mom was. I guessed 50. Her mom had actually just had her 31st birthday. I still remember the horrified look her mom gave me.
"When I was very young, most of my childhood heroes wore capes, flew through the air,
or picked up buildings with one arm. They were spectacular and got a lot of attention.
But as I grew, my heroes changed, so that now I can honestly say that anyone who does
anything to help a child is a hero to me."

"Beginnings are scary, endings are usually sad, but its the middle that counts the most. Try to remember that when you find yourself at a new beginning"

"The real issue in life is not how many blessings we have, but what we do with our blessings. Some people have many blessings and hoard them. Some have few and give everything away."

I'd say more like a big sister, and nothing NEAR a grandma. :)
Funny story...I can relate...my second graders in the past could be BRUTAL.
