Lukie & Ryan vegging after the Holidays
Ryan & Lukie playing with Ryan's new toy (Lightening McQueen Car) from Pop-Pop
Our boys standing by the Christmas tree with their favorite presents...well for the moment
Big Brother finally gave up reign of his car and let Lukie drive Lightening
Ryan & Lukie on Christmas Eve
Our boys again by the Christmas Tree
Lukie adored all the wrapping paper!
Ryan loves anything that has to do with Lightening McQueen
Christmas cookies for Santa and reindeer food, of course :)
Our trip to Storybook Land from the Ferris Wheel
The boys in Santa's sleigh at Storybook Land
The boys "before" we even got to Storybook Land :)
The boys coming out of an igloo...that was one of the coldest nights it felt like we were in an igloo all night long!
The boys making Christmas cookies...FUN!!!We certainly hope that everyone had a spectacular Christmas!!! We did!!! We couldn't have asked for a better Christmas present...he came a bit early but better early than never :) Of course we are talking about "Lukie"!!! Lukie has enriched all of our lives, especially Ryan's, every time we see them hug, kiss or even have the "typical" spat over some toy or another we can't help but shed a tear and think this was what we wanted to achieve...our boys/siblings forever. Family members and friends, who may I add were against the idea of us adopting again, at least in the beginning, are now saying to EVERYONE who will listen what a terrific thing we have done, especially for Ryan. Thank-You Everyone :)
As you know, or may not know, this was our second Holiday Season without my Mom and you know what I think this season was the hardest, as a matter of fact this second year not having my Mom around has been extremely difficult. They say that time heals all wounds?!? Who ever came up with this was obviously on drugs or drinking heavily! B/C I will state that this year, it will be 2 years since my Mom passed in February, has been the hardest. It's almost as if you expect that one you love to come through the door, as if they have been on vacation all this time. But, then by the second year you actually realize that they are not coming back from that vacation. So, needless to say it has been difficult. I've talked to my sister and she too feels this way. She thought she was the only one who felt like this :(

With the New Year approaching, after all it is December 31st, we hope that all of our Family Members and Friends have a WONDERFUL upcoming year...HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
By the way...my New Year's resolution is to post more and I must get Lukie's timeline up on here. PAP's and others have been asking us about this, this is our next project. After all, we received a call from EAC that we had a referral on 1/31/08...we can't believe that this anniversary is fast approaching!!!
