He has been so good to me..

Tonight I was up, not able to sleep, and for some reason I started reading these posts...of all of our lost babies....they were so painful to read... but then I heard my sweet babe breathing in the next room, her breath heavy with sleep, and all I could do was thank my Father...for my little miracle....then I thought of my sweet adopted babies that I have been waiting on...and for the first time in weeks I felt at peace. Peace. He knows. He knows....It will all be fine. One sweet day we will all be together, and I will tell my sweets the story of how God knit our family together...piece by perfect piece....One Sweet Day.....

Isn't God good? Praying for the babies that need you and your husband as parents and for you as you wait.

Oh my. You made me cry. You are blessed and your Mama Heart is so loving. I am so happy for you and I continue to pray. I know that my heart still feels that our family is not yet complete either. Someday.

Just have faith in Him and everything will be alright. Keep trusting because everything happens for a reason.

Love this post, Sam - isn't it amazing how in the littlest things, even just the soft breathing of a baby in the next room, God shows us how much he loves us and how good He is to us!

Sam, just stumbled upon your post-and it has brought so much peace to my heart. My husband and I have 4 kids: 3 who joined our family through adoption, and 1 born to us. AND we have 3 perfect babes in Heaven, who I cannot WAIT to hold and meet. I am so thankful to God for the opportunities to have carried and known our pre-born babes, if only for a little while. Thank you for your honesty and faith. Keep writing.

The Handmade Dress Infomercial: Do you suffer from scrached DVD's?

Do your children cry when they can't watch their favorite movie because of irritating scratches? Are you sick of paying good money for movies that are scratched minutes after you take them from the case? Do you often wish that we could just go back to VHS because you could leave them out in the rain, bring them in and use them for a coaster, and then let the baby throw it for fun and it would STILL WORK!? ME TOO ! . We have struggled for years with scratched movies that were no longer watchable, but not anymore! We have finally found the secret formula to rid you of this nasty little problem forever! . Crest Kids Toothpaste! YES, that's what I said! Kids toothpaste! . A few months back I heard some place that toothpaste would take of scratches and I tried it and it didn't work, then the other day out of pure desperation I tried it my way. IT WORKED! So I decided this kind of news could not be kept secret, I have to tell the world! So I

New triple bunks.

Ben designed new bunk beds for the "girl's dorm" and "boy's dorm" in our house. We LOVE them!! We are almost done with all of the work, just a few loose ends left to tie up, but I couldn't wait to show off his handy-work. This is the girl set. We stained them with colored stain and we really like how that turned out. It's almost the color of cranberries. I still need to paint the boards that are attached to the wall. I'm going to paint them the color of the wall so that it looks like the beds are floating. :)  This is the boy set while still under construction. We ordered new bunk mattresses, but they haven't come in yet. I will show you guys pictures when they are completely finished. We stained these green, it looks like the color of bamboo. The kids LOVE these beds! And oh the space we have now! I'll be back soon with finished pictures! xo, Sam If any of you make beds using these plans could you send us a picture? We
