Adoption Day Prayer of Thanks...

Dear Lord,

We are thankful today for:

River,

Angie,

River's birth father,

For the love of four parents for one child,

Family and friends,

Prayers both answered and unanswered alike,

Judges that love their job and are d*mn good at them,

Days off of work spent celebrating,

Good driving weather,

Good Mexican food,

Party cakes with WAY too sweet frosting atop delicious, moist, chocolate cake,

The Tonka Truck cake decorations that made River bounce up and down in his seat when he saw them,

The police officer that let my Dad off the hook for a speeding ticket so he could make it in time for the hearing,

Cousins born only 3 weeks apart,

A good long afternoon nap (for both River and myself),

Days that make all the pain, frustration, loss, sorrow, and ridiculous amount of waiting worth every second,

And of course, days that end with cake all over our shirts!

AMEN!!

Now if only my bangs would have cooperated on this picture heavy day!
