And Baby makes Four.....



It seems sometimes things take a lifetime, and sometimes thing happen overnight! We learned last Friday that we had been chosen to adopt this little boy, got a call on Monday from our attorney who said to get prepared because we were having a baby on Tuesday. That call came to me at 11:42pm Monday night, and this little one entered the world Tuesday morning at 7:49am, Ryland Thomas and he weighs 7lbs 15 ozs! As you are rejoicing with us, please remember the birth family in prayer as they are grieving a loss today. It has been a very emotional 3 days, but God is so good. We have prayed at the bed side with birth mom, and her family! We have spent some time laughing with them, and crying with them. Justin, Wyatt, Ryland and myself are doing well, and adjusting to a new normal. We still have a foster baby in our home, so as of today I have three boys under the age of 3! I will share more pictures soon, the blog is not being cooperative this afternoon.
