28 days!

well friends, our dreams have been realized ~ we are so thankful to God for what only he could accomplish. i am still processing the joy/amazement/relief that we are parents, that we are living in our new home as a family, that everything that has happened in the last 4, 8, 12 weeks has actually really happened.  driving earlier with our son in the carseat we bought almost a year ago in anticipation of adoption, pulling into the driveway to the home we had never even seen before 3 months ago, into a neighborhood that was a "someday..." dream. my days lately (minus the sleep deprivation) are pretty blissful. i am so very grateful. our life today seems like jumping midway into a book into the scene i always wanted to be a part of. some say we "deserve it" after waiting so long... i am just still in awe. and all that waiting and all we experienced to get to this place seems a bit blurry. i'd like to take time to write about and share more of the journey (time is limited lately), but, i thought it was about time tonight to share the wonderful news - we have a son!  Spencer ("giver of goods") Samuel ("the Lord has heard") is 28 days old today. 28 days ago was one of the most sacred days, to begin such an amazing new life.  more story to come...
