18 Weeks and a Leap Year!

We find ourselves at 18 weeks still very busy and still......waiting! We are running out of ways to create these numbers so during lunch today, the kids decided to use their apple slices and baby carrots to make the number "18"! They were thrilled at how their apple slices could make the number "8" so well!
They are continuously asking us why it is taking so long for them to see their brother and sister. We keep telling them that waiting for something we long for is so hard but the Lord is always faithful and we must trust in Him to reveal our babies in His timing. They have been "chewing" on that for a while (along with Brad and I, too!) The waiting period has been very long (even though we know "long" is a relative term) but the Lord has carried us through the entire way. It is truly amazing how He continues to prepare our hearts to receive these precious blessings and that has been the most amazing part of this journey, so far!

We are so thrilled for a couple of Gladney families who have recently received their referrals...Congratulations Thorne family, Roberts family and Farmboy and Buttercup!

Happy "Leap" Day!
