How they didn't spend too much time missing all the things they didn't see in Italy or they wouldn't have gotten to enjoy the tulips and all the beautiful things that Holland had?<br />Speaking as a parent of step, bio, foster and adopted children. Having children in your life no matter how you became a family is amazing. We could have mourned too long the fact that I could not have more children because of post-partum psychosize.... and missed out on the beauty of what we did have as well we may never have known the joy that is ours today. Probably no one's life is as they "planned". The key is to do what you are doing and trusting God and having a positive attitude. That video of your beautiful daughter is so sweet and your attitude is absolutely great! I am thankful you share it with all of us <3<br />Oh by the way just because I had a diagnosis with psycho in it does not mean you can call me a psycho mother in law!!Janicenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307671069792746473.post-38683771752511553982011-06-08T21:04:47.544-07:002011-06-08T21:04:47.544-07:00This comment is coming from someone who swore she ...This comment is coming from someone who swore she would NEVER live in Alberta- but now does....<br /><br />I love the quote by Joseph Campbell that says, "We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us."<br /><br />It's so very true. Children is a sticky subject for every couple and I don't know a single one who has had all their children 'as planned'. Miscarriages, stillbirth, surprises, fostering, adoption- there are so many aspects of it. Heavenly Father is the only one who know how it all will play out.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12093399131264087338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307671069792746473.post-21847240842368786592011-06-08T18:19:08.646-07:002011-06-08T18:19:08.646-07:00hahaha that video is adorable!hahaha that video is adorable!Rachel Wattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12893175079275585621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307671069792746473.post-34546061065489196352011-06-08T15:46:54.363-07:002011-06-08T15:46:54.363-07:00You said "Life is messy," which reminded...You said "Life is messy," which reminded me of a scene from a favourite movie, Baby Mama.<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfR7KHzE1LI<br />After this little incident, Tina Fey asks her sister, "What if that had been poop?"
