Meant to Be

I cannot remember a time that I did not want to be a Mom.  I loved playing house and pretending that I was a wife and a mother.  Of course, Jeanie did make me be the husband at times. he he he  Things did not change when I became a teenager.  I picked out baby names and started collecting things that I would have in my own house someday. I even bought some baby clothes at a garage sale. When people would ask me what I wanted to be, I would reply...a Mom.  That was my goal, my dream. 

 
Well, God has blessed me plenty!  Besides the three children of my own, God has allowed me the pleasure of helping raise two step children and now I have a grandson!  My cup is full, as they say, but...there's always room for more. 
 
Today, I decided to just attach a story with pictures.  Hope you enjoy!
