My own little crowd

Last Monday, at the doctors office, I was sitting there thinking....that Ben and I are so blessed. Most people know exactly who they are going to see when they get to Heaven, but not us, we get our own little welcome committee made up of children that we have never met! When we get to Heaven we will have a little crowd waiting for us! In my heart I feel like I will know them as soon as I see them, that their names will come to mind immediately when I see each precious face! Over the years I have learned to "Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials" (James 1:2) I know that holding a perfect little MIRACLE named Claire helps, but it feels good to be in this place, finally. It feels good to not be angry. It feels good to know that the family that I have is EXACTLY the family that God meant for me to have....Yes, it hurts too, but mostly I'm thankful....we have so much to be thankful for!

I couldn't let one little soul go without mention, Mama loves you..... xo, Sam

You are a brave and sweet girl to share your pain and loss of your little babies...Im a week out of having surgery for the loss of our much wanted and already so loved little baby....its a life planned and a life hoped for and now, its the loss and the grief...I too have other children and hold them dear to my heart as each kiss and love from them helps put a little piece of my heart back together at a time....

Thank you for sharing. I am so sorry for the loss of your little one. These last weeks have been full of memories of my own babes that went ahead as I minister to my sweet little momma, my third born in the loss of her first baby and my third grand baby. My heart aches for her but I am thankful that, like you, she is finding the mercy of the Lord to be her strength. God is so good to heal our hearts and show us His over abounding love.

That is very similar to the words God gave me for a friend who has had five miscarriages--that she would have a wonderful welcome in Heaven as her little children rush to her to finally be able to hug their mama.

When you go through a loss like this, isn't it amazing how many share your grief, becoming part of your comfort?

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 ...

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 ...

The Family Closet

It's another gray day so the pictures aren't great, but I wanted to get these posted since I have a few minutes. The family closet has changed my life people!! It has taken my most overwhelming chore from crazy to totally doable. We had to start in the laundry room because that is were most of this process starts. These storage racks went on sale for 69$ right after Christmas and we got 3. We also got several of the $3.50 Steralite clothes baskets because they fit side by side perfectly. In the laundry room I now have baskets labeled (Whites, Towels, Darks, Reds & Purples -we have a lot of those!) to separate clothes into, baskets marked "Clean" for clean clothes, a place for storage (extra dish cloths, table cloths, socks that need a mate). The laundry room is much less intimidating now, I actually like going in there! I also now have room for my drying rack in here! I painted a huge henna design on the wall to pretty it up a bit. :) The Caffee sign ...
