So Much for Regular Posting

Several months back, I had every intention to begin regular postings again.  I guess life gets carried away and with the addition of instagram to my life, I find that I have not been true to my convictions of doing so.

Well, I'm not giving up.  I know how important it is to keep a log of my kids growing up, and I believe this is truly the simplist of ways to do it.  If only I wasn't so busy.  If only I wasn't so tired.  If only I didn't have to do such and such.  But, these are all just excuses.  I have to be more diligent in being consistent in my postings. 

Craig and I were talking just the other day of how quickly this time is going.  Over and over, we remind ourselves that we just need to take advantage of the moments we have left with the kids in the house.  Of course, we can't predict what the future will hold, but I gather that they won't want to live with us forever.  I know that they are on temporary loan to us and that we must let them venture off and fly.  And I'm okay with that.

For now, I plan to slow down, as much as I can, and be better about recording the little moments.

Like this one...

A few weeks ago our compassion child, Josselin, turned 16.  We celebrated her special day with a homemade double layer white cake with yummy chocolate frosting.  We lit her candles, sang happy birthday to her, and prayed for her physical, emotional and spritual health. Josslin has been in our lives for 4 years now.   Even though we've never had the opportunity to meet her in person, she is a part of our family. We've been so blessed to watch her grow up, just as we've watched Emaleigh and Caleb grow up.  We are so grateful God brought her to our lives.
