Liam's Birthday Pictures

So, a little late, but here are some pictures from Liam's birthday...

First, our trip to a local McDonalds to meet up with his birth mom. We had a lovely visit and Liam had a great time playing and being with his "first mommy."


We picked up Braeden from day care after our visit, and since I had my camera in my pocket, I HAD to take pictures of the pee pants!!! :) He was a bit excited getting ready to go for Liam's bday dinner, and decided he didn't need to use the bathroom. When I pulled out the camera he was hiding and laughing and trying not to let me get a shot, but I did!!! :) Stinker!

At home that night we had Liam's birthday dinner... chocolate hazelnut pancakes, scrambled eggs, and caramel corn!!! :) Can you tell which is almost gone from his plate first!? :)

We were home late that night with the visit and dinner, so we did Liam's cake and gifts the next day, Saturday. He was so excited about the cake!!!

Liam LOVED the gifts my parents sent!!! See the look on his face! :)


And this is my favorite! Olivia wanted to give Liam her own gift, so when we were at Target the other day we stumbled upon a great wooden firetruck. It had been $20 and was on clearance for $5! She wanted to give him that, so she paid half, and Braeden paid half. Liam was delighted! And here he is hugging them his thanks! :)
(He's a little preoccupied with the truck to smile! :) )

What you should know about HIV

-HIV can NOT be spread through casual/household contact. HIV is not spread through hugging, kissing, shaking hands, sharing toys, sneezing, coughing, sharing food, sharing drinks, bathing, swimming or any other casual way. It has been proven that HIV and AIDS can only be spread through sexual contact, birth, breastfeeding and blood to blood contact (such as sharing needles). - HIV is now considered a chronic but manageable disease. With treatment, people who are HIV+ can live indefinitely without developing AIDS and can live long and full lives. - People who are HIV+ deserve to be treated with love, respect, support and acceptance as all people do. Additional information on transmission of HIV can be found on the Center for Disease Control website: http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/resources

Little Did I Know

Little did I know that the road would be so rocky
Little did I know that the trip would take so long
Little did I know that my heart could hurt so much
Little did I know that God is never wrong

Little did I know that love could be so powerful
Little did I know that a dream so far could go
Little did I know that God would place the right ones
Little did I know that my heart, so large, could grow

Little did I know that a dream has it’s own timing
Little did I know that this day would finally come
Little did I know that four souls would be sent to guide me
Little did I know that they would choose to call me mom

But God knew all along and He had a plan to follow
God knew all along that my dream would soon come true
God knew all along that we five should be together
God knew all along that I’d share it all with you
