On The Night You Were Born

Heaven blew every trumpet
and played every horn
on the wonderful, marvelous
night you were born.

This is one of our favorite books to read to Malakai because we really believe all of heaven rejoiced on the night of his birth. Several weeks before his expected due date on December 17, 2007 at 9:25pm, all 5 pounds, 2 ounces of him entered the world. No, Eric and I were not present and we didn't even know him yet, but our spirits knew. Of this we are sure. What a miracle his little life is indeed.

"Adoption is redemption. It is costly, exhausting, expensive, and outrageous..." -Derek Loux

...and worth it all!

Tomorrow, Malakai Grant will be 3 years old. He has brought us joy in ways we could have never imagined. Of course, what birthday would be complete without a photo session with Mommy. Here is our "Phree-year old". Happy birthday, beloved son!
