Jennie Time

This summer we have been able to spend more time with Jennie, which has been great. The kids have loved it. Jennie had called and wanted to get together, so we went tonight with Maddie, Benj, and Dylan. She is currently living with her boyfriend and some of his family. We were able to play outside and visit with Jennie. Jennie was so cute with the kids. She got out some inflatable tires and played with the kids. They loved every moment. They also played duck, duck goose. Jennie was so sweet with them. Jennie also had some toys for the kids and had some shoes for Maddie. She also had a piece of vinyl with ladybugs on it for the windows. She wanted Maddie to cut off part of it when she got home, and write her and Jennie's name on it and give part of it back to Jennie. I am sure as a way for them to think about and remember each other. So cute. It's great to watch your kids have joy, know where they came from, and have that connection with their birth mom. It's obvious to see the love and caring from both sides. Whenever we have these experiences, my heart is filled with joy. I am grateful for the connection we have had all these years. I am grateful for the great gift she has given us. What a sacrifice. And I am grateful my children have one more person in their life to love them. Can we ever have too many people that care about us in our life? I figure every person that can give us love, time, attention is always a benefit in our life. It certainly has been that way with Jennie and our children. What a blessed relationship this has been. Pictures to come (if I can gain some patience with the uploading photo process).
