We are so blessed by your faith. We could not ask for more. I imagine Dave will be wearing Daddy's orange jacket tomorrow. Should be fun in a new church. I love you, mama

I guess, for us, it goes back to your "Surely Not" post. It's not so much the actual adoptions that scare us....it's the college, the weddings, even the education, the clothes and the vacations (or the no-more-vacations, maybe, selfishly).

We're goin' for it....in faith, sometimes trembling faith, sometimes faith-filled faith.

Can we put this on our blog at some point in the future?

For us, too, it's good to think about...as we struggle with losing sleep over the responsibility and financial pressure of going from two kids, to three kids....and now, to four kids.

Thanks for the reminder.

2009-08-24T21:46:22.841-06:00

Your mention of the kids book "I Would Choose You" prompted me to say:
I would choose YOU!
For sure!
I read a quote recently that some folks had kids that they would choose as friends if they were not already their kids. That is the way we feel. Glad you are our kid and glad we can be friends.
We love you.
Hugs,
Mama and Daddy
