So i know....it has been a while. Julie told me I need to write more often so I am giving it another shot. We had a GREAT weekend. My best friend Julie and her husband Steven have been trying to adopt for a little over 6 months. They had a failed placement of a little boy 2 weeks ago and we were all so devastated. I can't even imagine the pain they were feeling. I had felt like a piece of my heart was ripped out. It was almost like a death. With many prayers God blessed Julie and Steven with a 6 week old baby girl on Friday February 26th. Chloe Marie Saal was placed into their arms and I don't think she will ever be let go! There is so much love in that family and so much joy that it brings tears to my eyes just watching them interact. They are complete. I can't wait to watch Chloe grow up and see the love her parents have for her. I really hope her and Kensley can become as close as Julie and I are and were growing up. Our childhood was the best. I hate that we live so far away from each other. It's hard being away from her because I feel like we grow a little bit apart, but I know as soon as we reconnect things are right back to where they belong. I love her so much :) and now little Chloe is here so we have so much more in common. Summers will be fun getting the girls together and hopefully in the future we can take little girl trips!
As far as Kensley goes......she is growing and learning so much. She started walking at 12months and is trying to run now. It is so cute. I love coming home from work and playing with her. She is a little person now! We play peek a boo and shape sorters together. She squeezes me when she doesn't want me to leave. I love when she holds on to me so tight so no one can take her away. Is it wrong that I long for the day when she crawls up in bed with us and snuggles next to me? It's like I can't get enough of her. She had tubes put in a few weeks ago and they seem to be working pretty well. I just hope this keeps the sick appointments down to a minimum.
Off to bed.....hopefully this stays updated!!
