Adventures with Aidan: My heart is full!

My heart is full!

Yesterday, when I got home from work, I was greeted in the back yard by my wriggling and totally wet son. He had been playing in the sprinklers with the neighbor girls and Daddy. After talking briefly with the neighbor girls' mom, I went on inside to tidy up the house for our friend who was coming to dinner and the football game.

When Daddy and Aidan came in, Aidan got very excited and grabbed something up, ran to me and placed some new jewelry on my wrist saying, "I made this for you, Mama!" How sweet!

Proudly, and with a very full heart, wearing my new bracelet last night and to work today, I can't help hearing that niggling voice in the background of my brain about the gallon jug of perfume that is coming my way in the near future. . . ; )

That is so, so, sweet! Very pretty, too if I might add - Can I get one?!
Wanted to let you know, Kevin and I are getting back on the roller-coaster- We just changed back to Russia and officially got accepted to an agency. I am praying this is it! Take care...Teresa; 15 August, 2009 13:48
