Week 24

Dear Jennifer,

Life gets so busy and we get sidetracked with the everyday "things" that build up. Last night as I was feeding my beautiful baby boy I was reminded of how and why we got to this point. I don't think there's ever really a way to say thank you.

We have so much to be grateful for in life. This year we are especially grateful for our beautiful son. He is so happy and wonderful. His giggle lights our day and his little smiles make us laugh. We can't wait to teach him and show him all that life can offer him. He grows so fast and changes so much and we just love to watch him grow and change. He has been blessed with so many wonderful talents and we can't wait to help him find each and every one and develop them.

So, with that said, how do we show gratitude to the person who made this all possible? How do we say thank you. Without you I would still be begging my Father in Heaven and crying on my husbands shoulder for the one blessing in our lives that seems to come so easy for others. You are as much of a gift as he is in our lives. We are so blessed that you had the strength to let him go.

It's easy to get overwhelmed with emotion when we think about where we are and where we were less than a year ago. Thank you so much for loving Xander ~ and us.

This week Xander got to be blessed. Some of his family was here and we have loved spending time with everyone. He's so special. He and his daddy are inseparable and it's all because of you.

Life is what we make of it. You have been a hero to so many, I don't think you even realize the love we have for you.

Thank you for being so wonderful. Thank you for being so selfless and so very wonderful. We love you and are excited for the future and where it will take us.

Love to you, always. Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year
