Sometimes I feel I just need to journal and so… here goes….
Today, Adam, you were the best little boy! Sometimes you can be very moody but today you had one of the best days. You loved playing outside with your best kitty Garfield, even rescued him from the barking dog in the orchard. We even went to town to get a kitty brush so you could brush his kitty hair (Granma, you would be proud). You were the perfect little boy today. You even cleaned up without being asked. Only got one toy out at a time. Not sure what got into you today, but I love it. I love you and Gregory so much! You both are my little treasures on earth and I can’t thank God enough for you! Someday you will read this (in the book I plan to make out of our blog) and I just want you to know how much you truly mean to me and your Daddy! We are so blessed to have two handsome boys who we pray grow up to know and love God!

Tonight as a family, we prayed. We were praying that God will let us get a new home soon. That He would find the perfect one for us and lead us to it. We are hoping it’s the one we made an offer on, but if not, then He knows. We need to find a new home without the health risks we are facing with the one we are in now. We have faith as a family that God will help us find the right place! Phil. 4:19 “And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus”. God is going to take care of us. I can trust that. He’s gonna supply all our needs. Maybe not all our wants, hopes and desires but he will provide our needs! By trusting Him our attitude and appetites can change from wanting everything to accepting what he blesses us with.

Boys, the past two days have been really tough on me and Daddy. We lost another baby Sunday night. We didn’t tell you because we didn’t want your heart to ache like ours has. I was two months along with this baby. We thought everything was fine and were looking forward to seeing the little heartbeat on Monday at our appointment and were so excited to share with you both when we got home. However, God wanted to take this little one home with Him a little sooner than we were hoping! Sunday night I had extreme pain. I am thankful it happened after you both were settled down for the night in your cozy beds. I hope you boys never have to go through pain like that. It was awful. I’m so thankful your Daddy was there with me and helping me through it. You have an awesome Dad and I hope you grow up to be just like him and love your wife just like he loves me! We don’t know why God allows things to happen like loosing a baby. I’ve tried to understand and I think its something I never will, but I hope to understand one day!

I do know that when I get to heaven I’m gonna have three little babies up there waiting for me and I can’t wait to see them then, and can’t wait for you to get to see them too! Just know that in the Bible Romans 8:28 “And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” I have to keep clinging to what God tells me in His Word and don’t know what I would do without God my Savior!

I can’t make your “blog book” be full of just the “fun” we had, but I need to include some of the trials, bumps in the road, and sadness so you can see how God pulled us through those times! How He works in our lives. I want you to remember those times!

Can’t forget to mention: The picture is you Adam with your kitties. Daddy and I were sitting in the living room tonight and when we were done talking we came in our room and found you sound asleep on our bed! You are a sneaky little snuggle bug!
