one week...

I cannot believe today is Thursday, and Mo has been home for one week. It has been a week of ups and downs, but it is on the upswing. We were not able to make it to the dermatologist yesterday since the roads were way too icy... tis the season in PA! We are off t try again today and hopefully get the bloodwork, too.

He is doing great. He is sleeping all right, up a few times,but not for long. He is a happy kid! Thank goodness! The dog on the other hand is one unhappy camper! He is licking the baby and getting yelled at constantly... we think that Mario's 1st word will be, "No!" lol!

Well, I am off to get myself presentable to leave for this appointment. We will let you know what in the world this goofy kid has all over him! :-) We just love him, spots and all! :-)

On an end note, I saw this song on a friend, Ruthanne's blog a long time ago. Every time I heard it, I would sit here and cry, and think of Mario in Guatemala. Today, I heard it again with him sitting on my lap while I was singing along. What a great feeling. God Bless this child. God Blessed us with this child. God Bless his birth mother and foster mother. I am so glad that our hearts have finally found their way back home.

The Promise, by Tracy Chapman
If you wait for me, then I'll come for you
Although I've traveled far, I always hold a place for you in my heart
If you think of me, If you miss me once in awhile
Then I'll return to you, I'll return and fill that space in your heart
Remembering Your touch, Your kiss, Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
If you'll be waiting

If you dream of me, like I dream of you
In a place that's warm and dark
In a place where I can feel the beating of your heart
Remembering, Your touch, Your kiss, Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
If you'll be waiting

I've longed for you, and I have desired
To see your face, your smile, To be with you wherever you are

Remembering Your touch, Your kiss, Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
If you'll be waiting

I've longed for you, and I have desired
To see your face, your smile To be with you wherever you are

Remembering Your touch, Your kiss, Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you

Please say you'll be waiting
Together again
It would feel so good to be In your arms
Where all my journeys end
If you can make a promise
If it's one that you can keep,
I vow to come for you
If you wait for me, and say you'll hold A place for me in your heart.
