I am so thankful to God and to the many people who have helped our son learn to interact with us so that we could get to know each other.<BR/><BR/>While there are still times where it feels like we are on different planets, I am amazed at how far he has come on his journey.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-992476707494424848.post-17703475286218055812008-05-06T17:51:00.000-04:002008-05-06T17:51:00.000-04:00This is beautiful!

I once read an article about a study they did with blindfolded moms. They passed all of the women's babies beneath each of their noses and 100% of the time the mothers knew their own baby. The dads weren't quite so accurate... :)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for a wonderful post today!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14508025632249734480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-992476707494424848.post-25923129743763043382008-05-06T17:16:00.000-04:002008-05-06T17:16:00.000-04:00Oh, I LOVED this!

Isn't that the truth. I think it is the closest we will ever come on this side of eternity to understanding the depths of His love for us.

As part of our introduction to one another we were supposed to tell everyone something about our field of study that most people don't know.<BR/>Since I am "just a mom" I had to do some quick thinking, and this is what I came up with: Most people (non-moms, that is) don't realize that mothers are bi-lingual. <BR/>To prove my point I asked if anyone knew what I meant when I said, "Ge da, mama? Pee ge da?" <BR/>Then I translated, "Get down, mama? Please get down?" And everyone understood. *grin*Karen Hossinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049412644792482270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-992476707494424848.post-85961562297317661442008-05-03T08:36:00.000-04:002008-05-03T08:36:00.000-04:00Found you by way of Elisa!
