Well, there's the two of us and the dog. Penny might as well be our child. She basically is the baby of the family. I'm not sure she quite understands what it will mean when she's not the baby anymore. But she's the center of Cam's world and I love her quite a bit, too. ;)
We've also got Tabby and Tigger, our two cats. They're pretty central to our home, too. Our mousers and cuddlers. Then there's our ferrets. Our first babies. Cocoa, Salt, and Pepper.
All of our animals make up our family in our home. But our boys, they are the center of our world still. Their urns have an honored place in our home and we talk about them quite often. They are a part of all of the holidays and celebrations in our home. Not a day will go by that they aren't.
When more children make their way into our home, they will know about Samuel & Andrew. I will make sure of it. And I really hope that our families will continue to honor our first sons even when future children enter our family. No future child replaces those two boys. Ever. They will forever be the first babies in our family.
I'm not sure that there is much more to say about our family. Eventually it will grow again. Not sure when, but it will. Somehow, some way. I will not choose a life without a child in it. That lifestyle will never be for me. And I will do what it takes to get there....whatever that is. IVF, adoption, anything it takes....
