The Shepherd's Flock: Day #8

Day #8

I think yesterdY went much better for Jay and Cade. When I got home they were both in much better moods and our evening was mostly normal. Maybe the impending snow had something to do with their moods Tuesday
night?? Jay introduced Cade to a new website yesterday...NFL.com. I think it will help all of us. He can read about every team and player to his little hearts content. I think he wants to go to the school today so he can use their Internet. That suits Jay just fine.

Things should start improving after today. A week from yesterday our high temp will be 64...which sure beats my car reading this morning of -12!!!

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!
