Back to School...

Marcus had some opinions about his 1st grade attire. The biggest one being Ecko shoes.
We shopped and shopped and finally we went into the Sketcher Store and there they were the "exact ones" he wanted.

I am not sure who will miss Marcus most Maleen, Silver or ME!

Marcus has a great teacher, Ms Mandic.

No more little tables. He has a real school desk. Boohoo!!!

While it was all I could do not to break down in tears Marcus had not a moment of sadness. Honestly I could have dumped him out at the curb and he would have been fine.

I HATE the 1st day of school. I want Summer Vacation to last FOREVER!!! Marcus on the other hand is very excited for 1st grade. As he told me, "If I don't go to 1st grade then no High School, no College and then what?"

Favorite Adoption Quotes

A Birthmother puts the needs of her child above the wants of her heart.
When you honor the birth family, you honor the child.
By choice, we have become a family, first in our hearts, and finally in breath and being.
We look at adoption as a very sacred exchange. It was not done lightly on either side. I would dedicate my life to this child.
Time and experience have taught me a priceless lesson, any child you take for your own becomes your own if you give of yourself to that child.
If a child is born and raised in family that is loving and nurturing, where there is complete truth about who we are, you can't give a child any greater place from which to fly.
