As I was getting Christmas decorations out today, I found this poem I wrote 2 years ago-when Avery was just about 7 months old. It brought back so many good memories of so many things...mostly though-family and friends together celebrating Avery being with us. We finalized Avery's adoption 3 days before Christmas in 2005, it was such a wonderful day. We were also able to visit with Avery's birthmom that month, for the first time since we took Avery home, and it was a special reunion for all of us. This season reminds me how grateful I am to have a beautiful family and for all the help,love,trust and prayers it took to get Avery to us.
THREE STOCKINGS
Three stockings now hang, where there once was just two
An addition to our family, joys any greater are few
She came six weeks early, the best day we can remember
Avery was placed in our arms,one moment so special and tender
The miracle continues as we welcome her home
To a warm safe place, she will never be alone
We take her out for walks, roll around on the floor
She's growing like a weed, who could ask for more?!
It's been seven whirlwind months, since that amazing day
Blessed be her birthmom, for we will never be the same
Hanging stocking, decorating the tree
Simple acts to most, a dream realized for me
Three stockings now hang, where there once was just two
Our miracle is here, no other gift will do

Great poem! Kids are amazing. I hope next year you can add that fourth stocking you're wanting.
