The Sun'll Come Out Tomorrow

...singing, "Just thinkin' about tomorrow clears away the cobwebs and the sorrows 'til there's none. When I'm stuck with a day that's gray and lonely, I just stick out my chin and grin and say,..."

Hope comes in waves, and especially with the upcoming holiday, it's tough. Yet still we wait, hoping and praying that God will move on our behalf.

Still Waiting...

It is easy to get frustrated when we think about the amount of time it is taking, but then I think about my daughter. She is somewhere in Texas, going to school every day, wondering if someone will choose her to be a part of her family.
“Hang in there, Princess, we’re doing everything we can. And your grandmother is already making your Christmas stocking, just in case.”

We're expecting!

We're expecting! We'll find out in a month or so the gender, exact age, etc. Right now we are excited, making plans, and trying to prepare ourselves and our families.

We want to expand our family, and God has led us in this direction. Anyone who has known me for any length of time knows that I have always wanted to be a mother, and anyone who really knows my husband has seen his compassionate heart. There is no other route to parenting that fits us better.

Just as any parent expecting their first child, we know there will be trying times and sleepless nights. But in time, when our child looks at us with trust and says "I love you" for the first time, it will be a moment we will forever remember.

I pray that our family and friends will support us as we become parents and welcome this new addition into our circle with open arms, hearts, and minds.
