Merry Christmas

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!! We had a fun Christmas this year but now for the first Christmas something just seemed to be missing. It was alittle bittersweet this year. We now have this image of our child in our minds, but each month meeting this little one keeps getting further and further away. It was alittle hard to be happy and silly knowing what is happening with the wait. We tried to push through. My grandma had made us a stocking which we laid by our fireplace this year. We won't hang it until our baby comes home. She did recieve some gifts-a rolling ladybug suitcase, a teddy bear, and a hand made sweater. These gifts made what we're going through more real and it felt good. We ended the day in better spirits than when we began. At church the lights were turned off as the choir sang Silent Night. It was so peaceful and beautiful. As Joe and I sat there holding hands by candlelight, I thought that tonight Santa will fly over China and USA, maybe he can give me a ride? For now I'll stick with my hopes and dreams
