What were you doing when your child was born?

What an odd question!

Have you ever thought back about what you were doing at a particular time in your life?  The other day I just began thinking about what life would have been like for the last few years if Jason and I had already had a child.  It would be a lot different, that is for sure!  It is crazy to think that we could have a two and a half year old running around the house right now!

Then I started thinking about what we were doing in July of 2009, when Claudia was born.  It was our one year wedding anniversary.  Jason and I were on a mini vacation in the Pocono Mountains at Cove Haven.  We were having an amazing time.  Cove Haven is a couples only resort with everything you can imagine.  They have hot tubs, pools and saunas in the rooms (some rooms)!  The food is amazing and best of all it is all inclusive!  You can go ice skating, bike riding, water skiing, hiking, swimming, play pool, do archery… and sooo much more.  Or, you can just RELAX!  That was actually our second time going there as we spent our honey moon there as well.  If only we knew then that our daughter was being born around that same time.  It is so crazy to think about!

Here we are, being our crazy selves on our anniversary!

Speed boat ride!

For two!

Playing pool

Yes, I did get a bullseye.  AMAZING!
 (I will leave out the part where most of the rest of my arrows completely missed the target...)

Our bedroom (a small part of it) including the hot tub.

We had so much fun but little did we know the miracle that was taking place south of the border, that somewhere there was a little baby girl being born that would be given up for adoption due to a disability that her parents would be unable to handle.  Did they want to give her up?  Were they ashamed of her?  Did they love her?  I have so many questions that may never be answered.  All I know for sure is that she IS loved now and I cannot wait until she knows it!
