17. I am thankful that my 12 year old still wants me to read to him at night and still cuddles with me. Love that kid!
18. I am thankful that Juan David loves his new cousins and his new aunt and uncle, so much that he doesn't want to ever leave when we are at their house.
19. I am thankful for technology that allowed us to see and interact with my brother's family out in Pennsylvania on Thanksgiving.
20. I am thankful that Mike and I both have jobs that we enjoy and provide enough income to live on.
21. I am thankful for my cozy little home.
22. I am thankful for a bank account that has money in it, despite living through all the costs of Juan David's adoption--twice.
23. I am thankful for the Wii that has turned into a bonding tool between David and Juan David. Who knew how much Spanish David would learn to speak just by playing Wii for hours on end with his new brother.
24. I am thankful for both of my sons' schools, specially catered to both of their specific needs and abilities.
About Me
- Rachelle D Alspaugh
- I've been married to my husband, Michael, for almost 25 years. I'm a mom to a biological son and an adopted son from Colombia, and I'm also a spiritual mom to my adopted son's older brother, who I claim as a son in my heart. I'm bilingual and love to work with and relate to Spanish-speaking children and families. I've been a teacher to students from all sorts of backgrounds and cultures for the last 20+ years. I'm also an author and a certified Biblical counselor. I'm in a new empty nest season in a new location far from where I raised my boys, so I'm definitely in a stage of rediscovering myself, my interests, and my purpose.
