Enjoyment of being a Mom

We went to Silver Dollar City yesterday and had a great family day.  I love seeing AnnaKae experience things for the first time.  That has got to be the one of the best things about being a mother.
AnnaKae loves to swing.  She would swing all the time if we let her.  At Silver Dollar City they have a swing that she can ride with an adult beside her.  She got to ride it twice.  The smile on her face was priceless.  To see her get to do these new things, I can't help but think of those children waiting for a parent.  AnnaKae would have been transferred to the mental institution had we not adopted her.  These two and half years would have been less exciting had we not adopted her.  I can't imagine what it would have been.  I just thank God everyday for bringing her into our lives.  Even if she isn't normal, everyday God shows us His love through her.  We see God's world different through her eyes.  The little things we take for granted, like swinging, tasting something sweet, and having a family.  She brings so much laughter and joy to our family.

You can see AnnaKae with her Daddy in the bottom corner.

I think this was the highlight of her day.  She wanted to ride the train so bad and by the time we got to the train she was sick.  AK started running a temperature and was feeling good.  So we left right after the train ride.  She cried off and on through the whole ride.  My poor snuggle bug isn't feeling good.  Hoping this goes away soon.  She was happy for most of the day.
