Comments from Cade

Few things we've heard around the house this week.

Me: your clothes for today are on your bed
Cade:(while wearing a towel around his waist) Good! I can get
Out of this thing that makes me look like a Greek God.

Jay: why are you wearing
Sunglasses? It's
Dark outside
Cade: because it makes me
Look dashing.

We were a family of three who was in the infertility/adoption cycle for almost 6 years. During that time we experienced 5 failed treatement cycles, 2 failed adoption placements and the loss of 6 adopted embryos. After officially waiting with our agency for 3 years, 8 months and 1 day we were blessed with the birth and adoption of our daughter Camryn Lee. Our adoption was a long journey, but looking back I know there is nothing I would change. God really worked on me during those years and I'm grateful for that. Every time I look at Cade and Camryn I know that God's timing was absolutely perfect!
