The Best News and a Family Update!
Goodness gracious, it's been awhile since I've posted on here. Some great things are happening, some difficult things, and some normal every day things....but that's life, isn't it? :) Here's a little family update with what's been going on lately!
A Birth Story + Newborn Photos
I can't believe our sweet girl is HERE and in our arms. Most of you don't know our entire story of God's faithfulness and promises coming to fruition through this baby, but it's truly a miracle. I'm still in awe of God. How He works, how He teaches, how He blesses, and how loving He is to His children. We are so grateful!
Family Vacation During Covid
Crown Reef Resort is not only a beachfront hotel but also a waterpark that is extremely kid-friendly. Wesley really loved going on the two big waterslides with Andrew while the younger boys enjoyed playing in a splash pad-like area. They also have a large pool, multiple hot tubs (something our boys love), and even a lazy river! The best part was that we never had to wait in line for anything!
Maternity Photoshoot
We're so excited to finally announce our sweet baby girl's name and show you our maternity photoshoot!
Mothers and Mental Health
I know what it feels like to not have a care in the world or a desire to live it.I know what it feels like to hit rock bottom and barely have the energy to get out of bed. I know what it feels like to be hopeless, stuck, and confused even when your life looks good on paper... or on social media.
I Get to...
If I can just switch my attitude and realize THESE ARE THE DAYS that I've dreamed of and prayed for and longed for, my "have to" list gets replaced with "I get to."
