March – Amanda turned 9..!

I can still remember the day Kim told me she was pregnant for the first time.  It was a mixture of joy and sadness… joy because she was going to become a mother… sadness because I was going to be in Argentina when her baby was born.  Now she is nine years old and so much time has passed.

Leaving behind my family to go to Argentina was hard… one of the hardest things I had to do… but God was faithful in walking me through the process each and every time.  I then had the privilege of spending days upon days with each of my nieces and nephews… I treasured every moment… okay maybe not every moment since I did nanny two of them for a couple of years J and babysit the others on a regular basis.  But still… I love each of them so much and treasure many moments with them. 

Besides God, my family is what has got me through the toughest times; my parents and siblings, my husband and son, and even my family in Argentina.  God has blessed me with an amazing support system… and I will be forever grateful to Him.  What a joy it is to celebrate life with them… I can’t imagine what is going to happen in the next nine years… scary to think about because that means Amanda will be 18.
