I HAD SO MUCH FUN MAKING ZAK'S VALENTINE'S I ALWAYS WATCH FOR SALES AFTER EACH HOLIDAY, THIS YEAR AFTER CHRISTMAS I FOUND THE LITTLE COIN PURSES AND HEART BRACKET THAT HAD LIP GLOSS IN THE HEART FOR $.25 EACH I THOUGHT I COULD USE THEM FOR ZAK'S PRESCHOOL CLASS FOR THE GIRLS FOR V-DAY, THE BOYS I DID SPEND MORE CUZ I COULD NOT FIND SOMETHING FOR THEM, EVERY YEAR I ALWAYS BUY TONS OF CANDY CANES, AFTER CHRISTMAS FOR WAY CHEAP SO I CAN MAKE THE CANDY CANE HEART SUCKERS WITH THE WHITE CHOCOLATE THEY ARE SO EASY TO MAKE AND SO FUN TO DO. I LOVE THIS HOLIDAY!!! P.S I WILL POST MORE ABOUT VALENTINES  DAY

[OUR HEARTS ARE FULL]

MY HEART IS FULL...
THE OTHER NIGHT WE WHERE GOING TO BED AND ZAK SAID WE FORGOT TO SAY OUR PRAYER'S WE TOLD HIM HE COULD SAY IT OUR HEART'S BROKE AS HE SAID WE PRAY FOR A BIRTH MOM OUT THERE THAT SHE WILL FIND US,  SO MY SISTER CAN COME HOME. IT'S HARD, IT'S HARD FOR ME NOW THAT I HEAR HIM PRAYING FOR A BABY, WE WAITED FOR ZAK 10 YEARS AND NOW WE HAVE BEEN WAITING 4 YEARS. BUT I DO HAVE FAITH THAT OUR BIRTH MOM WILL FIND US JUST LIKE MELISSA FOUND US. I FEEL SO BLESSED TO HAVE ZAK, HE IS SUCH A LOVING LITTLE GUY. I HOPE THAT SHE WILL COME INTO OUR LIVES SOON BUT FOR NOW I FEEL SO BLESSED TO BE HIS MOM AND WE LOVE HIM SO MUCH.
