Where is the time going?















Gosh, I feel like just yesterday it was the weekend and we were enjoying being at a pool party and now, well, it's Wednesday already!

We had a very busy Saturday but were able to relax at a friend's house to celebrate her daughter's 7th birthday. The kids had a great time with their homemade "wipeout" in the pool.

On Sunday it rained so Dave dug in the basement and found the EASY BAKE OVEN! What fun making tiny chocolate chip cookies and melting marshmallows. The girls couldn't believe that a lightbulb actually could cook something!

And of course Sarah couldn't resist putting the giraffe hat on Clarence. It was quite comical when he spotted his reflection in the oven door. He kept looking at the "other cat" and even tried to locate him under and around the corner!

On another note, we knew that on Monday Matthew and his new family were due in court to finalize his adoption into their family. I expected to have mixed emotions and indeed I did (and do). However, when Dave called Matthew's new dad he was so jubilant that we couldn't help but be happy for all of them!

So, today it was with tremendous pleasure I visited Matthew's family blog. In an email thanking us Matthew's Dad invited us to follow them on their blog. Reading the posts, I felt such a peace knowing that Matthew is right where he is supposed to be. He is doing so well and is loved so much. What a testament to how awesome God's plan has turned out to be!

We will always love Matthew and always consider him to be a part of our family. The girls still consider him to be their brother and from what his Dad says Matthew speaks of us and the traditions he shared with us. We have made an impact on each other's lives and nothing will ever change that.

In the words of Matthew's new dad, "Is Matthew the perfect child? Oooh, no. But we don't know how we have done without him. We feel like he is the perfect fit." And that just says it all.
