Forever Family Day!

Five years! Has it really been 5 whole years? My fuzzy haired little peanut is now 6 years old. Remember how we waited, it seemed to take forever to see her face for the first time and now 5 years have passed. We have done so many things together. Just this year alone, I feel "Belt Brett" has grown so much! Five years ago she weighed 16 and 3/4 pounds and today she is a strapping 43! Her personality is so quirky and I hope she keeps it that way. Over the past year we have had to call her a variety of names, Rainbow,DJ Beach, Sailboat, Pirateship Ship, Chicken Tenders, Rooney and now Belt Brett. Where does she come up with this stuff? She played softball this year, and wants to play again next year. She still loves hats, all kinds and now loves belts. The past five years have been awesome and sometimes scary at the same time. I love Shealin with all my heart and hope our next five years are just as awesome or even better as we continue to grow as individuals and as a family. Tonight, we will have a special dinner, Shea wants "logs" and then we will watch our China video and have ice cream. To her birth mom, may you have peace today and know in your heart that she is happy, healthy and just downright awesome. Thank you, for bringing her into the world and giving me the greatest of gifts. Belt, I love you! Happy Forever Family Day!
