Our 3 Month Angel

Wow, our amazing God and a sweet, selfless birth mother has given us such a gift in this tiny little package. From your baby Afro to your big brown eyes and curling little toes, we just love you so much. And now we are blessed with an adorable smile and sweet baby talking. Sometimes, I just nibble your cheeks and cover you with kisses. You are so sweet, my little brown sugar, as I love to call you. You are easy-going and a great sleeper, which God knew this Momma of 4 would need. Since about two months old, you give us full night of sleep with the exception of needing your pacifier a few times. What a blessing! You eat well and the only time you really get upset is when you are hungry or need a diaper change. Otherwise, you are just as happy as can be.

At your two month check up, you were doing everything you should at that age. You weighed 13 lbs. 4 oz. and your head and height were in the 90 to 95th percentile. 

Your brother and sisters love you to pieces. We are so blessed that there really hasn’t been any jealousy or complaining about you joining our family. You are very easy to love!

Muah!

Spring Celebrations

Between seeing my baby brother graduate from college, saying goodbye as he and Christina move to Charleston, SC and recognizing I am a momma of 4 living, breathing tiny humans, I was a bit emotional this past weekend. God is good. In the midst of all these changes, I’m even more thankful for His grace and sovereignty. 

Here’s some pictures of our blessed weekend moments.


A proud dad and sister. Zach persevered!


A lovely couple excited for their next adventure!


Proud parents who put on a super fun BBQ celebration.


We love our Uncle Zach.




That about sums up the whirlwind of celebrations.


Leila volunteered 4 days this week for our church’s mission yard sale to raise money for her first mission trip this summer to Philadelphia. Here she is with 2 of her pals.


My sweet blessings that shape me and challenge me like no one else.


Love you guys so much.
