March 28, 2010 *Sunday Morning Breakfast*

I've been allowing these two to get to know one another gradually.  Timothy has been so gentle with Baylon, it's wonderful to watch.  He'll gingerly accept a Cheerio from her small extended hand.  


Our whole family has come together as one complete happy unit.  I can't wait for each new day to begin, and feel so Blessed to awaken each day with all that I have to look forward too.


Pirate is back on track with his training, and soon, we'll begin with Chelsea as well.  Pirate is doing Obedience.... and Agility, and if this weather EVER breaks, we'll be back Sheep Herding as well.


We're even going to head back into the Show Ring in a couple of weeks.  We are going to Special Pirate here and there, just to keep him ring savvy.  He won't be truly competitive till he matures a bit, as he's still a baby at just 2 yrs. 4 months..... Briards mature slowly, and can fill out till they are three, sometimes four years old.
His true color still hasn't appeared as of yet.  His half brothers are a couple of months older than he is, and they are just starting to change.  Tawny's can go through various color changes in their early years.  I can see red roots on Pirate, which I love....... hopefully I'm not just seeing things.

Our lives have been enriched 10 fold.  We live each day with renewed purpose, and directive.  It's amazing to me that someone so small, can have a presence so large.  Baylon, you have always been in my heart, my mind, and my soul, now you permeate every breath that I take.

Baylon and Pirate you both fill my heart with sunshine.

March 20th, 2010 FIRST DAY OF SPRING !!!!

Pirate has a play date with Halle, a female Briard from the neighborhood.  They got along famously, and we all had a lovely day in the park.  Hopefully there will be more "hot dates", this Season !

Baylon's room is starting to really come together.  We FINALLY got the wallpaper trim up, and are now ready to start hanging the pictures, and artwork, some of which we brought back from China.  Can't wait to see the finished product.  Behind those curtains are still areas that need to be finished..... hah, so what's new :)

The toy chest/changing table is also unfinished.  Need to buy more pain to complete the flowers.....  still wondering whether to add an area rug, for now, we're good with this !!  I absolutely love the colors, and theme, my Sister keeps telling me she's gonna want Fairy Princesses or something other than this, but if my girl is anything like her Mother, and ironically, she seems to be just like me in many aspects, which is totally weird, so marine life should suffice for now at least.  I'll have her watching The Cove in no time, hehehehe !!!

March 14th, 2010.........

Three months has flown by.... three months since our lovely, beautiful Baylon was placed in my arms.  Life has never been more sweet !


We are truly Blessed !

March 13th, 2010

Tomorrow will mark three months since my darling daughter was placed in my arms.  Nothing has been the same since, and I can honestly say that my life has become whole.  The only way I can liken the feeling that follows me throughout the day is this..... it's as though my being was sand, and my daughter is the wave that has just washed over me, filling every orifice, every molecule of my soul with her energy, making me complete.  


We couldn't be more Mother and Daughter if I bore her as my Mother bore me, with the exception, that I've breathed, eaten, and slept our union in my heart, my mind, and every breathe that I have breathed. 


I've always heard talk of offensive comments made by some ignorant people.  It was something that I heard happened to those that have adopted, but not having made it too that point yet, and not having actually been in that situation, I didn't pay much attention.  


Recently, since I've been out and about with my little girl, I've come into two situations that had me thinking. Stupid comments that I don't even care to mention now, but two times it made me remember others that were often upset by such things...... tonight, on the other hand, I actually was flawed......  tonight, I actually heard someone say, what's with all these "old women having babies".... they meant that for me, as I was the only one there with a baby..... two seconds after this comment left this a-holes mouth, they noticed I was there and said hello..... I just said, "what did you just say"?? At least he had the decency to repeat what he said..... I, stupidly just let it go..... WOW, there really are such uncaring, JERKS out there...... I need to be more prepared in my handling of these encounters, so as to not upset my daughter.  She was right there with me every time this has happened, I need to protect her.


Oh well, there is only so much time I will invest in stupid people and their stupid, STUPID comments.......
ahhhhh, I think there are brownies cooling, and they need my attention!

Can't wait to see this film !!!
