We have had a busy yet fun-filled week. The weather has been unseasonably warm for this time of year and we have taken full advantage of it! I stole away for a few quick moments while everyone (minus Heidi) is outside throwing paper airplanes to mention a day two years ago.
Two years ago today a very emotional and anxiety ridden girl got on a plane to travel half-way around the world to meet her daughter. I will never forget that morning for as long as I live. I was so excited!! Yet I cried buckets of tears as I said good-by to the boys and Mark. I knew it was only going to be 10 days before I returned by it felt like an eternity to me. I had never been apart from any of my children or Mark for more than a night or two and I was terrified!
Since Mark's dad worked at the airport the boys got to come out on the tarmac as my planed taxied away. They waved vigorously with big ear muffs on to protect their ears from the noise of the plane engines. I thought my heart was going to break apart. How could I be so excited to meet my baby girl yet so sad to leave the familiar?
I will be taking time over the next few days to talk candidly about the past few months with Eden. The difficulties and also the progress we are making. We are turning a corner in our bonding with her and for that I am incredibly grateful! But for today I am reliving that day two years ago and am amazed as I watch her run and play with the boys today. She is one of us!!!
