More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb."

Thinking Back!

We love where we live!  There are so many fun places to go and beautiful things to see and most are free!  One of our favorite places is the drive up the canyon where you can see a few waterfalls.  This past summer we did that often, because there is also hiking that you can do too!  Well this particular time we went with my mom and Handsome's parents.  I remember feeling 'fat' that day and after looking at pictures thinking my belly was swollen and not being happy because of the hard work I was putting into getting healthy and in shape!  Well looking back that swollen belly was working on growing the smallest little one that is now less than 10 weeks from entering our world!  What a shock it is to look back at pictures from June & July 2010 now and say 'cute, my little belly was swollen due to Cupcake and I didn't even know!"  But then when I looked at the pictures I was just discusted that I wasn't working hard enough or what have you. 

God is good to us in so many ways!  We have our Princess and Sunshine, we are expecting our Cupcake, and still waiting to hear news about our Texas baby!  When the time is right God will allow the 'perfect' birth mommy to find our profile and pick us as her precious babies adoptive family.  But we also are looking at 8 1/2 wonderful years togeter as a married couple.  Meeting some of the greatest friends in the last year and all sorts of other amazing things!  While there are many things that feel like they are falling apart, we feel solid as a family.  Handsome, Mama, Princess, Sunshine, Cupcake, and Texas baby are a solid family that will be together and enjoy life every single day!  That is a blessing!
