The miracle of...airplanes??

I have to share a very cute story here. Just a little over a week ago, we were at the dinner table, when Bear Cub suddenly said aloud, "Aunt Stephanie IS going on a big airplane." We looked at one another and said, "Oh really? Which one?" BC quickly replied, "Southwest."

Now, I believe we'd been talking about airplanes before this all came up, but if not, there are many times that BC will pop up with some interesting ideas/thoughts out of the blue. And please remember...Aunt Stephanie is the aunt that will be having a baby girl in January.

Back to the story...

So we asked him, "Well, where is she going??"

And he looked at us and said, with such sweet openess and innocence,

"She's taking a big airplane to get her baby soon."

We have talked to him so much about his adoption and how we became a family, that it has just never occurred to him that families can happen in OTHER ways than flying home on a big airplane together. I just thought it was so sweet. I love that smart, thoughtful boy of mine.

Thank God for that big airplane that brought this family together. :)
