This picture was taken the first time I met our daughter. She has now been home almost 3 months and it feels like she's always been here. I'm so happy this Mother's Day

My first Mother's Day!

Mindy's post (and huge smile) reminded me of my first Mother's day as a Mommy. Hope had been home for 3 days, she was 6 months old, and my bio daughter Anna was 4 months old. I was on cloud nine. Here are the three of us on Mother's Day morning 2004.

What a great post for Mother's Day weekend!!!

This is a picture of me and our little guy on our visit trip in April - this is one of my favorites of him. They always look so sweet when they are sleeping!! (plus it is only one of the few of us together Daddy did the videorecording and I did the "still" photos - more of Daddy and Alex than Mommy & Alex)

The other one is of the girls and I!! My angels that are getting so grown!!

Thanks for letting me share with you guys!!

I hope more post pictures - I love them!!!

Have A Great Weekend!!

Joy
