Mesa and Mesa Falls

We took a little trip to Mesa Falls the other day and took our new camera. Mesa Falls is not handicap accessible. So Aaron had to awkwardly, step by step, take Mesa down a few flights of stairs. On the way up we were a little more efficient. I carried Mesa and he carried the wheelchair. Mesa loved the water and the view. I had to keep a close watch on Greyson, my mind was flipping through all sorts of scenes involving him and the rushing water fall. We got a few good pictures.

Marin is 9.

My gosh, I remember so clearly the day we walked out of the room holding Marin and said goodbye as Marin's birth mother squeaked out a tiny smile underneath her sad and very tearful eyes. I had never been so happy and sad at the same time. I even put her in her car seat the wrong way because my emotions were so jumbled up. Marin is so tender hearted. She cried terribly after watching 17 miracles. She is a good sport, putting up with 2 boys all day long. She hates going for walks and most vegetables. She would do anything for ice cream. She couldn't sleep the other night and asked if she could sleep in my bed for a while. The next morning before school I noticed she has mascara on. We had to have a little talk about not wearing make up for a few more years. She is so creative and smart!! She is my angel, she would visit me in the hospital while I was on bed rest with the twins and always eat my treats. Then she would put her chubby little hand on my face and say "Don't cry, momma." I cherish the fact that she loves to sing. HAPPY BIRTHDAY beautiful girl!!
