Oh how He cares!

Here are some fun pictures of ellie and g recently- g is completely in LOVE with anything to do with trains- so he thought putting sister in the middle of his tracks would be real funny~

Ellie is soooooooooooo sweet! 6 1/2 months here!

I tell ya what! There is such a sweet sweet thing in knowing, "that all things work together for those who LOVE Him!" This blog has served such a great purpose in so many ways! So many of you weekly check this blog in wanting to know how to pray for our family and sweet ellie! Thank you thank you for the weekly e-mails, letters, and calls of how you were thinking of us and you took the time to show our little family how much you care! Thank you thank you! We are so unbelievable thankful for the encouragement to us that I believe has come straight from heaven! I can't even tell you how your stories, love, deep care, and constant faithfulness to us has blessed us!!!!!!!!!There are days that your encouragement blesses mike and i more than you know. I am amazed at how He knows our every single need.

Everything!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes He does!

We are still struggling with Ellie and being sick. I am amazed at how Satin would love to back our family in a corner and keep us there- but our feet will not slip into his slime!!!!!!!!!!! Yes we have some days I want to give up- but I see these little hands, feet, sweet smiles, sparkling eyes, and gummy smiles, and I say----here we go---another day---let's make it----through ear infections, congestion, fever---here we go! The hardest thing for me during all these sicknesses is fellowship with others. Gosh- I love love love being around those friends and family that are my core! I love having lunch in a fun b-ham lunch spot, or sitting at starbucks with a friend, or holding my hubbies hand at a movie, or walking with a girlfriend- all this things are "joy" things to my heart. But, with a sick baby- those things don't happen. It's been hard for me b/c I am energized by people. The funny thing is- my people right now are my dear little ones. Yes, I love some adult talk- but for now we are constantly learning how to be content in everything- so if any of you feel I am out of pocket---I miss you all----We will all rejoice even more when miss el bell has a week of wellness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for praying for her- she is growing, getting sweeter by the minute even through these bugs- she's our little cupcake!

Graham going on a date with his daddy- think he is excited???
