“Monday Meanderings “ does not have to be my 5 focal points each week, you can list any 5 things that will better prepare you for the week and bless your home and your family! To learn more about  "Monday Meanderings” please go HERE!

   We had a wonderful weekend, a special Supper with some special friends (more like family) of ours going through the adoption process. They had a baby, they attended the birth, held and bonded with baby and 3 days later the mother changed her mind. It is such a difficult and heart wrenching situation for all involved.

My friend has been through more in one year then anyone can imagine and still she and her husband stand strong! My friend lost her best friend to an aneurysm, lost her mother 6 mos ago from cancer, had to have a total hysterectomy only 3 mos ago and now this with the adoption falling through. She is such a inspiration and makes me want to smack myself when one of those pity parties starts creeping on!  We had a wonderful time of fellowship and the boys had a wonderful time climbing all over Uncle Dan like he was a jungle gym!

This is a fun week for us as we don’t have much going on except a Dentist apt for Dominick on Wednesday.
