The Big Switch

We finally did it. The boys have been moved into one room. The last time it was done was when they could still run out in diapers and pullups! It has gone well, but there has been alot more whispering than sleeping! It is like having a slumber party everynight. We are thankful they are taking it so well. The idea was to put them together to allow for "adjustment" time before Anna gets here. It is going much better than I anticipated. Yippie! I love when things go smooth!

Wake UP!

Do you think children are programmed to wake at 5am? I'm talking about a 9 and 7 year old- not a newborn! Most days they are up and at em' at 5am. They love life and each day is an adventure for them, but mom would love to pull covers and stay in bed longer! But the life of a mommy is one that requires sacrifice and not pulling covers and going back to sleep! I thank God every day for my boys.

Thank the Lord for this day He has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it!

Please pray

My friend, Tracie Loux and her family have partnered with the Lord to adopt two sweet children from the Ukraine. They left the U.S. on Sunday to go and get their children. Please pray for favor in the orphanage and the courts. Pray for health for the entire family, safe travels, and for peace for each one as they will be separated for some time.

Adoption update

Since becoming pregnant many people have asked if we are going to adopt. We would love to! We have continued to pray and ask for guideance and what the Lord's will is. All of the generousity from friends and family was wonderful. We have used all our funds to get to our current position. Our name and profile is still at the adoption agencies and now we are waiting. As of September, we were still getting calls about possible situations to be matched with. But since then we have not heard from one agency. We are trusting the Lord to lead us and and show us what to do next. We believe him to provide a situation and provide the finance to go along with it. That is where we are and we are so thankful for all that has been done in our hearts in the journey. Praise to the Lord!

I love these kiddos

Here are the boys being little hams for me. I say smile and they do this. It is so fun having my boys!

New News

We are happy to report that we are having a girl! Anna Gabrielle will make an appearence, hopefully on time, the first week of June 2009. God knows exactly what we need, when we need it and He knows who we need to be in our family. I am at a loss for words because my heart is overflowing with blessings!!

where we are now...

The Lord is very good. We have found out we are pregnant! This is something we have prayed for---3 years now. Last year we were in prayer for our conception and I felt like I heard "1 year." That was October 2, 2007. One year later in October 2008 I found out I was pregnant!! Praise to Jesus!
