I get to be the One...

We seem to be walking in a daze these days - a daze of happiness!  You wouldn't believe some of the crazy things I've done - so distracted by my happiness!  We still can't over how we are already matched with our precious SON!  God is SOO GOOD! This Mama is on the move for bedding, clothes, boy toys, etc.  I'm loving every.minute.of.it!!  We are already mailing a care package of a recordable story book so sweet lil Roy can hear our voices.  Even if he can't understand us...it might help? :-)

I have loved & enjoyed the Song "I Get To Be The One" by JJ Heller.  I truly feel blessed blessed blessed to be Maddie & Roy's Mama.  I thought I'd share it here. 


Lyrics:
Well hello, Little baby.
Your eyes have never seen the sun
You should know Little baby
That I am the lucky one

I get to be the one to hold your hand
I get to be the one.
Through birthdays and broken bones
I'll be there to watch you grow
I get to be the one.

Don't feel alone now, Little baby.
Do you hear me singing you a song
I can't wait to show you Little baby
How to crawl, How to walk, And how to run

I get to be the one to hold your hand
I get to be the one.
Through birthdays and broken bones
I'll be there to watch you grow I get to be the one.

How does someone so small
Hold my heart so tightly
I don't even know you, I love you completely

I get to be the one to hold your hand, I get to be the one.
Through birthdays and broken bones
I'll be there to watch you grow
I get to be the one to hold your hand
I get to be the one.
----
 
Yes, we get to be the lucky ones.  Truly.  We are so BLESSED!

Happy 2nd Birthday to our dear SON...

Happy Birthday to our son.  I still can't believe I get to type that word - SON. 
We have a SON.  God is so good.
 
Thinking & praying for Roy extra today.  Hoping his foster parents spoiled him today.   
We can't wait to celebrate big next year for his 3rd birthday.
 
We love you & can't wait to meet you Roy Carl!!!
