I thin...Oh, I love seeing Ben and Grace together! <br /><br />I think about this sometimes too... and just when I worry most about it, Spencer does something to reassure me. Like cuddling me in the middle of the store... "just cause" or telling everyone "MY MAMA!" So while I know there will be times that it matters, I also know I'm his Mama, and he's my son... and while we may not *look* alike, we really are very much alike in ways that matter more.Christine @ 12,450miles https://www.blogger.com/profile/06593782429987800305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-186323442040653806.post-68757748290173090502010-12-08T17:35:28.066-08:002010-12-08T17:35:28.066-08:00can you tell ben that the crush is mutual??? serio...can you tell ben that the crush is mutual??? seriously, i swooned a little when he giggled with me!<br />and, yes, an awkward/weird moment for sure. and it's in those moments when you have to make a choice to stop and explain or just brush it off, huh? i feel like that's the hardest.Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13287678098879352533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-186323442040653806.post-82570838554232687162010-12-08T11:34:30.363-08:002010-12-08T11:34:30.363-08:00Man, Grace sure does look wonderful with a baby!

That was something I made my peace w/prior to our adoption, but it hurts me to know that it one day may hurt my children, who did not choose this life for themselves.Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06368344688034538089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-186323442040653806.post-22598170159817047732010-12-08T07:16:27.342-08:002010-12-08T07:16:27.342-08:00That's not an easy thing. Then again, no one ...That's not an easy thing. Then again, no one thinks Brian and Ben go together by looking at them, and DEFINITELY not my MIL and Ben. But it doesn't really matter. It probably will to your Ben at some point in his life, but later in life it won't be a big deal. Hugs! So glad you and Grace got together. I need to get my kids up to Chik Fil A near you and meet Ben! :)Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03228094717864369438noreply@blogger.com
