A year ago I told my guys that I was not leaving Boston without a baby, a cat or a dog. Something small that I could snuggle.
Last night in my dreams I was yelling at doctor after doctor for telling me that it was hopeless and that we couldn't have any more children. I tried to shake off the dream, but it of course stayed with me all day. So at dinner when I was staring across the table at my perfect "miracle" child, I asked him if he would start praying for heavenly father to send his brothers and sisters down to our family. I thought that maybe if it came from his sincere heart it would warrant more response then mine seem to.
He took a minute, shook his head sadly knowing he was disappointing me and said he wouldn't say the prayer.
J: "Sorry mom, I'm still holding out for a cat."
And how can I argue with his perfect nearly 5 year old logic when he already brings me more joy then I deserve?
And, oh what an awful graduation present for poor Zack come June.

Oh, Ana. That was too, too funny. Adam and I both laughed out loud. Though I may lack the pure sincerity of a 5 year-old, I'll put more prayers in for your baby. I hate cats. :)
Ana, you are so cute and funny. I love that Jack. He talks like he's a little adult.
This is so funny to me. Just the other night I had a dream that I was at the grocery store, just roaming the aisles, shopping without a list. All of the sudden I stumbled upon the live cat section of the grocery store, where I saw this little tiny snowball of a kitten in pure white. I immediately picked it up and put it in my shopping cart, and just like that we had ourselves a pet cat!
I woke up and wondered if it was a prophetic dream. Of course Darin tells me it was not. The children tell me it was!
We will pray for a baby.
The funny thing is, when Sean took him to the pet store, he was scared of the cats. =)
Oh, my love. (That refers to both you and Jack.) What if you tell him he can have both? You are in my prayers so often. Zoe was just talking about you and Jack the other day. We miss you and love you.
LOVE that kid. There is just nothing like their honesty to bring some lightheartedness to a heavy matter. I love your response, too, you are such an amazing mom.
We think about and pray for you guys still. Hope all is going so well.
