Two little miracles in the 4G family!

Yes, I fell off the face of the internet for a little while. Things have been crazy hectic, but I thought I would take a few moments to update.

Our adoption journey has been quite the emotional roller-coaster. We've done loads of paper-work, shed alot of tears, and spent much time praying for guidance and patience. Before Christmas break, we were beginning to re-think the choices we had made. We were prepared to switch gears and maybe research international adoption a bit more.

If there is one thing I have learned, it is to be wait patiently for God to act ( or not act). In my heart, I had ultimatums, deadlines, and deal-breakers already established. If things didn't happen the way I thought or felt they should, I was upset.

After driving myself and my family absolutely crazy, I just gave up and gave it all to God. I told him my inner-most thoughts and desires for our family, I poured our my sorrows and frustrations, and I prayed that whatever came of this journey, I would be able to deal with it graciously.

Shortly after my prayerful tear-fest with God, we got a referral for a baby. Blah, blah.....lots of adoption jargon....days spentwaiting and wondering....skip ahead a few weeks.

Our sweet baby was born in early January. G was a few weeks early, but very healthy. We are now back home and adjusting wonderfully. Our oldest son is in love with baby G, and so protective and gentle.

For those who say miracles don't exist- ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!!!  I have one spunky miracle riding his skooter through the kitchen while the other tiny miracle is sleeping peacefully in his cradle.

In keeping up with today's latest trends, I think it is fitting to say we've officially upgraded to being 4G family!
