Out of the Office for the weekend

January 30, 2008 | Filed Under Uncategorized 

Tomorrow is a big day for us. We will be appearing in court to finalize Norah’s adoption and legally become a family. It is a day that has been much anticipated for the last 7 months and 5 days. We’ll have family in from out of town and be partying all weekend, so please give me until next week to get back with you if you need me.

Can you believe how big Miss Norah is getting? That little smile keeps shining on, even though her teeth are finally pushing through on the bottom.

To my engaged or newly married couples, love in this season of life is beautiful, and I was right there with you for the past 5 years. But when I became a mother, I learned a new dimension to love. When you think you have nothing more to give, it swells up within you and overflows. Being a mother to Norah is a blessing and a joy, and I give God the glory for her presence in my life.

    Alison,
    I saw your family shoot on Amber’s blog and that led me to your blog and it was so fun to look through your great photos. CONGRATULATIONS on finalizing what was obvious from the beginning - that you are Norah’s momma and that she was meant for you! I’m sure she already knows how lucky and loved she is.
