Sweethearts

With Valentine's Day approaching, I spoke w/ C to help him understand the concept of Valentines and "sweethearts." I told him that Ba and he were my sweethearts and that he and I were Ba's sweethearts. So then, I asked C who his sweetheart was. He smiled and said, "My sister."

Tonight, as we were helping C prepare for bed (as per our usual routine) and asked C which books he would like to read. He looked at us, pointed to the small books in his bookcase and said, "small books for baby sister."

We are still "waitlisted" to receive a referral's for C's baby sister. Most likely, we are looking at a 6 1/2 month wait (we're now in month 4). But, in the meantime, it's nice to know that C is looking forward to being a big brother (at least until he has to share his toys...).

I found this picture from our VBS last summer and thought it was perfect for this Valentine's Day blog entry. It allowed me to appreciate all the wonderful gifts we have received, both as a couple and (more importantly) as a family.

As we continue to wait to grow as a family, so too grows our love for each other...
