Just because.....then again Happy 2.5 birthday Matteo...

I love this photo...taken by a friend of mine.....thanks M....decided to consider it his two and a half year old photo even though it was taken a week ago. Happy Birthday Matteo...we had a so so day. Got called from daycare as he was sick, but at home, did well, though food intake was not his usual....other wise a nice surprise to be home with him on this special day.

First Cappuccino without the coffee....

....for Matteo, at our favourite coffee place celebrating mommy's birthday and Matteo's adoption.  My sister invited us to lunch and of course the cappuccinos afterwards were also quite a treat!

Two years ago - me-va-con-trai-mother-and-son-mamma e figlio

 this is what we were doing....

Anniversary of when I met Matteo for the first time....

Two years ago I met my little boy!!  Reliving it here....tonight on our drive home I was telling Matteo about the importance of these days, travelling to Vietnam, meeting him, and becoming his mommy being the best birthday present I got.  He promptly told me that we should get cake and canles for my bitthday....and of course how could I say no....

Also happy Anniversary G and M on meeting your little one G. too!!  The lovely memories continue!!

Memories....two years ago...

This is what I was doing two years ago today!

Prayers needed for twin girls

Prayers are needed for the twin girls recently adopted from Vietnam and now home and admitted to hospital for full assessment. Both sisters are very sick; however, one is especially struggling. 

Any positive energy, prayers, thoughts that you can contribute would be appreciated!

The family will update their blog when they are able to. 

During this time when my own memories of Matteo's adoption resurface, it is especially heart wrenching to know what a difference a family's love can make to a child's life.  In my post yesterday I used the word "blossom"...and that is exactly how I feel, Matteo is opening up in so many ways and I know what his life could have been like left behind. 

I am thinking and praying for these little girls and hoping that they too "blossom" with the love of a family and with the medical care they need. 

Dear God please keep S and I in your safe and loving hands and fill them with the spirit of your healing grace and strength.
