The Crooked Road: Favorite Photo Friday- "You Make Me Smile"

Where I am...

I started this adoption journey almost four years ago. There have been many unexpected twists and turns but now I am on the road to adopting a baby girl from Russia. Although not her real name we will call her...Hope. For it symbolizes what she is. A miracle, sometimes a dream, always longed and prayed for. With all current paperwork completed all that stands in my way is finances. I invite you to follow my journey as my faith is tested, my belief grows deeper, and soon my Hope will be placed in my arms after so long living in my heart...May you be inspired, encouraged, humored, provoked to think, and always drawn closer to God.

Favorite Photo Friday- "You Make Me Smile"

I love this little boy. I love him from my toenails to the tips of my fingers. There are times when my heart will burst when I think about him. He is sunshine, silliness, honor, hard work, and freckles. He is my heart. I would die without hesitation to add one moment to his life. I never knew I could love a little boy this much before he came. Being his Auntie is my favorite role. I fell in love with him as I watched him take his first breath. I have loved him through the learning to walk, to talk, to sing off key, to wearing casts, to the long, skinny-legged boy he is today. He is growing up. Watching him these days I catch glimpses of the young man he will be. I am proud of that young man. He is full of passion, honesty, integrity, and tenderness. He lives in a corner of my soul that was empty before he came. I didn't know it was even there, waiting. I know that when my babies finally come..they will fill up my heart and open rooms I didn't even know were there. This song is for you my bean....

You´re better then the best
I´m lucky just to linger in your light
Cooler than the flip side of my pillow that´s right
Completely unaware
Nothing can compare to where you send me

You make me smile like the sun
Fall outta bed
Sing like a bird
Dizzy in my head
Spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night

You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold
Buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Oh, you make me smile

Even when you´re gone
Somehow you come along
Just like a flower poking through the sidewalk crack and just like that
You steal away the rain and just like that

You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold
buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Oh, you make me smile

Don´t know how I lived without you
'Cuz every time that I get around you
I see the best of me inside your eyes
You make me smile
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold
Buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
