A very Thankful Sunday




As I sit here on this day of rest
My heart is full, I must confess

Halfway accross the land
In Kostanai, Kazakhstan

There was a precious baby girl
In my oyster, she's the pearl

As I waited so far away
God had a plan to unite us someday

Those sleepless nights and tears I shed
All disappear now as I kiss Leeza's head

Be Strong and Courageous, that verse is so true
If I had not been strong, I'd have never met you!!

I am lovin Joshua 1 verse 9
Because loving Leeza as our daughter is SO DIVINE!

She is truly heaven picked
So much more than I did predict

How much I adore her little sweet face
I will FOREVER cherish my Leeza Grace

Sean,you took the most beautiful picture of your baby! All along my favorite picture has been the very first one of her in the little blue flowered petticoat, I now have two! Her in the little pink hat is absolutely beautiful! Perfect!! Maybe you can be a photographer when you grow up!
Brooke ate a ton of green beans last night! She likes her baby jar beans alot, (well she likes everything) but she ate her beans hand over fist last night. Really cute! She also loves raison toast with a little bit of butter! She eats little bits of all of our stuff now, even bites out of our sandwiches! She's a big girl, almost as big as Leeza, almost one!
She's real excited for pumpkin muffins, well we all are! Susan, I need that recipe really bad!!!
I got my 13th real estate listing this week! I'm just smokin'!!
Keep on lovin your baby, we're real anxious to see you guys!!

Fantastic poem! It says it all.

I wish you could have written my blog when we were in Thailand.

Wonderful photos and a beautiful poem! Leeza is definitely heaven sent. She is equally blessed to have you, Joe, and Sean as her family.

I know I'm being an echo, but your poem is beautiful. As are the photos, especially the first.

Beautiful poem for a beautiful family. Leeza Grace is truly a blessing, a dream come true. So glad you hung in there during all the waiting and tough times. Because all your prayers have been answered.

Jennifer said...

What a lovely poem, and great pictures. That first one is so perfect with you and Sean looking so happy, and lil' Leeza gazing out with her cherub cheeks and big, baby blues. Beautiful!

Great poem. She truly is heaven sent!

I'm going to sound like an echo, but that first photo is breathtaking. And I loved the video too. And the poem. What can I say, I'm a fan.

It was sooooooo good talking to you! The phone thing is way cooler and better, I'm soooo gonna drunk dial Kazakhstan!

You're right about Sean in those other pictures; it is pretty creepy how much he is looking like me. Strange, Sean looked exactly like Joey when he was a baby and now he's blossoming into a beautiful, young......woman?
!!Oh snap!!

I'm off to bed. I love you guys and miss you a loooooooooot!

What a wonderfully beautiful poem. OMG I used to read Joshua over and over again, hence the name. It is one of my favorites!
