keeping the faith

We are blessed to say we are once again expecting! And...if you can trust an ultrasound...it's a girl! Um... I gotta say, was totally not expecting that...really had the boy feeling... I was surprised... pleasantly :).

Most of you are aware of the devastating loss of our daughter, Clementine Grace, at 20 weeks this past January. It is a loss that will be with us all of our days. It was extraordinarily difficult to decide whether or not to try again, but we chose to take a leap of faith. Let me tell you...trying to keep the faith while coping with extreme fear is challenging to say the least!

We can't ever replace Clementine...but, this new little ray of hope feels good. I'm starting to feel less fear and more joy...and that's good...

Weeping may endure for a night,
but joy cometh in the morning.
-Psalm 30:5

two-wheeling!

Look at my little Ty! All grown up (except for the diaper he refuses to give up). Proof of how much he's grown up since the beginning of summer since we tried this a few months ago and it was not happening. And now...

Are you watching Mom? Oh yes, I am... (I especially love the way your older brother is directing your every move...God love the bossy first born). So proud...so, so proud. Time flies... sniff, sniff.
