**We've had beautiful weather lately and I captured some of LL's "craziness" while eating dinner out on the deck the other night....
I can't help but look at LL and PRAISE GOD for her confidence...the security she feels with her family...and for her wonderful personality...I think her OUT GOINGNESS with us..her crazy performing self with us...her HUGE laughter and screams could drive some people nutty....BUT..God knew what He was doing when he gave us Lucy Lane...I LOVE EVERY OUNCE OF HER FUNNiESS!!! I had such reserved, shy children before Lucy Lane...which makes her BIG, FUN, CRAZY personality a breath of fresh air in our home!! 
She truly thinks of the funniest things to do all the time....Below she attempts to dip her grilled cheese in tomato soup....she decides she really likes it...
And, makes a HUGE mess along the way...
But it hurts her feelings when big Sissy notices WHAT she's doing....cause she was dipping her grilled cheese in HELEN's soup....and Helen reclaims her soup from LL:
Ok, I get her her OWN tomato soup....all smiles again:
Then, of course...she must perform a little bit for the camera:
I'm hoping Wes can survive this BIG personality...LL already says out of the blue:

**I said, "LL, you haven't even met him..you have no idea if he's LOUD or NOT!"
And, she laughs...cause she KNOWS she's a silly nut!! :) I'm sure my posts about LL's adjustment to baby brother will be quite entertaining!! ha ha :) AND...Just so you all KNOW what I'm praying for...so you'll PLEASE join me...I'm praying Wes is in my arms by the end of this month!! I know it's a long shot...but so was passing court the first time...so I KNOW prayer works!!! And, I KNOW God wants my sweet boy HOME!!! :) We so appreciate YOUR PRAYERS!!!
**Happy Friday to you all, kj
I have been following your blog for a while but never commented (until the posts about court for Wes :))... over the past year or so God has given me a HUGE heart for orphans and He has used your blog and family in a lot of that...Lucy Lane is looking so grown up!! Your family is beautiful! :)
ReplyDeleteLL is a doll! I love all your posts and how beautiful your family is, including precious Wes, and I want you to know how much strength I get each time I read your posts. God is using you to do incredible things and even though you don't know me, please know that God is using you to speak to me. My husband and I are battling infertility and we are praying for the Lord to lead us to our child, however He sees fit. Whether it is through IVF or adoption or whatever the circumstance. My husband and I both have read your blog and have watched LL's video over and over and have both shed tears as we watched you finally have LL in your arms. And now to follow your journey to Wes, it's just all a beautiful thing to see God's plan unfolding.
ReplyDeletePraying Wes is in your arms and with his siblings very VERY soon!
Thank you for being a shining light to all who read your blog! You give us hope and inspire us all!
God Bless!
