Surrendering to the Unknown

What a wonderful week we had at the beach with my family. We had so much help it was unbelievable. We actually got a break. The kids had a ball and couldn't get enough of their cousins. Andrew seemed as if he grew up in the water. He would dive in with his head instead of arms in the ocean and go out as far as we would let him. He loved jumping waves and sticking his arms out enjoying the wind. He practically taught himself to swim in the pool only moving about 2 inches as he swam yet he could float for at least 10 seconds. It was quite a sight. The seagulls were quite amusing to him as he would chase him and make noises. Sydney was a doll as she slept in the sand and everywhere we put her.

You can see that Andy was enjoying some rest time along with some birthday pics for Andrew's 3 year old bday.

So it has been quite awhile since the blog world for me because guess what, LIFE HAPPENED. My blog entry for today is....

AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! 4 kids is a lot with a sinus infection, putting your house on the market (yes we are officially crazy), and the rest of life.

Yet, God constantly brings me back to these pictures. These are the first pictures we received a week after we accepted Andrew's referral. We knew his measurements, but didn't know his deep sad eyes and his little face.





AND THEN THERE WAS NOW.... YOU CAN'T COMPLAIN EVEN ABOUT CIRCUMSTANCES...
