Adoption Thought of the Day

I bought the book The Waiting Child by Cindy Champnella. It's a great story of how her adopted daughter Jaclyn holds out the hope that her friend Xiao Mei Mei will be adopted too. http://bookbuzz.com/champnella.htm

This is an excerpt from the book that struck a cord in me...

"Love is mighty powerful thing to fight. I have loved, been loved and been in love. The one thing I know about love is that either it wins or you're miserable. There is no compromising love. There is no 'make a deal' with love. It wins or you lose. Love is not logical. Love doesn't care if boys like wiggly things. Love is not practical. Love doesn't care if you have the money or not. Love is not reasonable. Love doesn't care if you have the time or the energy or not. Love doesn't care if you are already exhausted. It doesn't care who needs therapy. It doesn't care how full or dirty your house is. Love doesn't care if you are old or afraid. How can you fight love and hope to win?"

I hope this has inspired you as much as it did me. Many hugs from the Wagner Clan!

Happy Birthday, Anna!

Yesterday was Anna's birthday. She is officiallu 6! She wanted to make Shamrock cupcakes for school and so we did. I missed out on the kids eating the cupcakes, but did get a few pictures of the class hanging out afterwards.

Anna wanted to go to Traverse City and to Boone's for dinner. Well...we decided that Scotty's was good enough, so that's where we ended up. I think she was happy with it. It was our family, my parents and grandparents and my sisters. Oh and Tyler. He happens to be Julia's favorite. :-) Then after dinner we came home for some cake and ice cream. Anna ended up spending the night at her Grammy's house. I think Anna gets spolied more than me! :-)

Well, I should go tend to Wayne...he's feeling really sick. Have a great Saturday!
