I would like to announce that Brandon and I are wanting to adopt. We haven't quite started the whole process but hopefully sooner rather than later we will be able to. We would appreciate if everyone could keep us in the back of your mind if you hear of any opportunities. We want so bad to add to our family.
Callie LOVES High School Musical 3. Lately she has been asking about "Troy", "I like Troy", "Troy's pretty nice", "I want to call Troy", "I want to go see Troy", "Troy's not here". Is 2 3/4 to young to have a crush on a 22 year old? Today she was watching it and she told me "You can't look at him", "You can look at Gabriella", "Don't look at Troy!". A little scary. She also loves "Hair Spray". Well we'll just have to keep our fingers crossed that this is just a passing phase. Other wise, we're in trouble.
Today we went with my mom to get her hair done and Callie saw some mannequins with multi colored hair and said she wanted red in her hair. Indy had some gel stuff that washes out so we put a little streak of red in her hair. It was so cute. I'll try to remember to take a picture before she takes a bath tomorrow. She thought it was pretty cool.

What I Wish Everyone Knew
I wish everyone knew that this hurt never goes away. We still need support, and I still need to hear my son and daughters' name. Now, even more than before, I NEED to have their lives validated.
I wish everyone knew ....that even though my babies' deaths were the most painful experience of my life, I am grateful for the pain, and I would still choose to have them even knowing that it would end the same....and I would give anything to cuddle them in my arms again, if only for a brief moment.
I wish everyone knew... that my heart leaps with joy every time someone asks me about my babies.
I wish everyone knew that a baby's age or size at birth or death does not determine to how much of a person he or she was or how much they will be loved or missed.
I wish everyone knew that an early miscarriage and/or losing a tiny baby is just as difficult and painful as losing any other child.
I wish everyone knew how much I need to talk about mybabies, and how happy it makes me when someone asks about them.
I wish everyone knew the struggle that I go through everyday to answer the simplest questions, like: How many children do you have?
I wish everyone knew it is ok to talk about my loss.
I wish everyone knew that I think of my babies all the time.
I wish everyone knew that I have completely changed because of my experiences.
I wish everyone knew how much I love and miss my babies.
I wish everyone knew how much I need to talk about them and remember them.
I wish everyone knew what it felt like to hold them, still, perfect, breathtaking and have to leave them.
I wish everyone knew what it felt like to long for just 1 more second with their baby. Maybe then they could truly cherish all the billions of seconds they get with theirs.
I wish everyone knew that us mommies who lose our babies carry them with us everywhere we go...for the rest of our lives...and to say we are changed...is putting it rather lightly.
I wish everyone knew and appreciated what an absolute miracle each and every child is, from conception to birth, viable and enviable.
I wish everyone knew that even though I can smile and go to work and "function" like everyone else, I'm not like everyone else.
I wish everyone knew that even if you don't know what to say to me, saying nothing at all is more painful than you can imagine. Ignoring me and never speaking to me again because it makes you uncomfortable to be around me is worse than being uncomfortable or saying the wrong thing.
