A BOY IS

TRUTH with dirt on his face,

BEAUTY with a cut on his finger,

WISDOM with bubble gum in his hair,

and theHOPE of the future with a
frog in his pocket.

LITTLE GIRLS

Little girls are made of daisies and butterflies and soft kitty cat purrs

And all the precious memories of times that once were.

Little girls are made of angel's wings and giggles and a firefly's glow

And all the happy feelings, deep inside, that we all know.

Little girls are made of cinnamon and bubbles and fancy white pearls

And snowflakes and rainbows and ballerina twirls.

Little girls are made of sunshine and cupcakes and fresh morning dew,

And these are the reasons, little one, why everyone loves you.

A little one...

I am desiring a little one, so tiny and sweet, smelling of baby bath soap, a soft fuzzy head to cuddle under my chin, fingers and toes so tiny.
With a birthday fast approaching, okay in 4 months, I am feeling time ticking away at me. But, the cost of in-vetro again... with college to pay for in 4 years for the oldest and my husband already working 2 jobs is it selfish? I know he would love another to cuddle and snuggle and love too, but oh the cost...
But oh the pull of our family not being complete yet and the feeling that there is another child wanting to call us their family. Do we pray and go on faith that $ will work out as somehow it always does?
Justin wants a little one too, he is saving toys and clothes for a new brother - not a sister mind you, just a brother. Nic thinks Justin is enough for him.
Oh, a little one so tiny and sweet, cute little blue booties or my fondest desire pink bows, white lace and black patent leather shoes, someone to share my barbies and my Mandy doll with, to laugh and giggle over boys with...

Now you just went and made me cry.. I don't know why you have to struggle to have sweet little ones, but I know the blessings of following the spirit and I wish you luck in the decisions you make with that. Love you!
