I had the privilege of meeting Thomas and His wife and birth mother, Rayanne, and feel their love for their birth child and the parents they chose. Here's a poem that touch my heart.... The Challenge  Months of preparation are now a reality. We held him, looked into his eyes, listen to his coos, loved him And now...he is no longer with us. Yesterday was the worst day of our life, hands down. I know he is loved and will be taken cared for...but, that knowledge can not take away her pain,  dry her tears,  fill the hole in her heart. She is fractured but I will make sure she doesn't brake. She is in pain but I will find a way to comfort her. She fills alone, I will reassure her that this is not the case. She is lost, I will be her light to find her way home. With all my good intentions, I can not ease her sorrow. That fact rips my soul in two. I must be strong, be her strength.

Man, I need to reformat the blog, update pics and so on. If you are following us on Facebook- you have more of an updated version of our family and adventures. Our community page is Brandon and Corrine- Party of 9.  Find us and read on. Even that needs updating too. A few things have kept me away from writing and rightfully so.

We are prepping to buy a new home and met an wonderful Lady, Victoria who we will be buying her giant house later this summer. She is an amazing person, even if we weren't buying her place. It's a cool story that I will share in the future as things play out. The kids all got a cold over the Break and now everyone is better and life is starting to find a new normal all over again. It changes every time the babies sleep more throughout the night. My kids are hilarious with sleep right now but, Hey, We wanted this and it's only Temporary, right?
