It was last Christmas 2006
That we got a phone call waking us at 6:30 in the morning
Telling us to open the mysterious package that had been left on our doorstep.
Inside was a puzzle, as we put it together our hands started to shake and our eyes began to tear.
It announced that a birth mother had chosen us to raise a baby boy due in the spring.
Cooper was born May 1st , but it was on Christmas morning that we started to love him. So thanks to a loving birth mother, we have a second son and an extra special reason to love Christmas.

I was thinking about that yesterday too. I was driving up to see ROmneys mom and said to Romney "a year ago today we found out baby #2 was on his way" He is such a sweetie and are so happy he is in our family too.
WOW! what a sweet way to find out you would Mother another sweet boy!
Did you figure out a new Christmas morning breakfast?
Heidi- for Christmas Breakfast we had (dairy free) waffles, fruit, bacon and sausage. Not exactly my dream breakfast, I was hoping to find something I could prepare ahead of time to cut down on the morning mess, but the boys liked it. So over all it was a success.
I cried like a little girl when I read Coopers Story. My sister-law is making a book about the time leading up to getting her new little guy with Shutterfly have you thought about doing one for your boys? She's patterning it after a book that she has about adoption I'll get more details and fill you in.
I have thought about it. I would love to have little adoption stories for both boys. I would love to know what book she has.
I love that little guy! We are all so lucky to have him in our lives!!!
