I'm still here! Every once in a while, I have to take a giant step back from the computer in order to regain balance in my life!

Abigail is growing so quickly. Nobody ever told me it would go THIS fast! Well, they did, but I didn't believe them! She'll be five months tomorrow and is sitting up really well now. We bought her a jumper-bumper and she LOVES it! I can't get over how strong she is! She can jump HIGH! She is such a happy baby. What a joy! Every day, I am stunned by this precious, amazing gift. What a blessing!

Ten days 'til finalization and we'll be home free! My parents are coming across the country to help us celebrate. I'm so excited about seeing them. It's only been since Christmas, but feels like forever!

I'm doing really well in my struggle with fear. The Lord has been answering my prayer! Last week a man in a suit came to the door and identified himself as a federal agent. He knew my name and proceeded to show me three different badges while he continued to identify himself verbally. My heart began racing just as he finally said he was here as part of an extensive background check for a friend of ours. A couple of weeks ago this incident would have thrown me for a total loop and sent me into a tail spin. As it was, I didn't even cry after he left! (Though I did fall into J in relief!)

I'm running out of steam for Marriage Mondays. Any suggestions on topics?

We had the opportunity to babysit our friends' three small children last weekend- Friday morning until midnight Saturday. They have two boys ages 3 and 4 and a girl who is almost 2. (They have a baby Abigail's age, too, but they took him with them.) We had such fun "playing" big family! It was such a joy to see J interacting with the *big boys*. I'm so in love with this man!

I love that picture! They all look like they are having a blast!
That picture is awesome! What an amazing husband. Abigail is going to have so much fun with him when she gets older!
Yay for finalization! So exciting! I'm glad hour parents will be there. That is going to make it even more special. Praying everything goes smoothly!
Hat situation with the agent sounds terrifying. I think j would ha e freaked out. I have a lot of fear too. I won't go places alone after dark. I deal like I'm constantly looking over my shoulder. And I rarely answer the door during the day when I'm home alone. Funny thing is, it never occured to me to pray about it. I'm not sure why. I guess I just figured it's just who I am. I'm goig to start though. And I'll pray for you too!
That's wonderful about getting to "play big family" haha! So much fun. And I'm so glad the federal agent was there for a background check for a friend. Glad the lord is helping you through your fear.
We've had those background people call too. They have never come by. I probably WOULD have freaked if they had come by.
I love the picture of JC the Knight with Shining Bottom.
Wanna play big family with my kids?? Mike is due home in a week and Claire is sleeping through the night...LOL Just kidding!
Such a cute picture of the boys! Wonderful! And yay for only a few more days until finalization.
That pic makes me love your hubby too! hahaha BUT NOT IN THAT WAY! hahahaha
How was playing big family? ;)
So glad you're so close to finalization! Wahoo!
My son is one week younger than your Abigail! We'll have to compare notes :) He just got a jumperoo too but he's way too little to do much yet!
It was so nice to get a personal post from you and hear how you are doing!
I can't believe that A sits up at 5 months!
LOL, Liam is 5 months Monday and we thinking it was time to bring out the exersaucer.
Great picture!

Love this, and LOVE the picture!!
Sew-I was going to say the exact same thing!
And Lauren-I know we have never met, but I caught myself thinking (after a week break from the blogs) that I really MISS you!
Love it! :) I'm so excited for you as Gotcha Day approaches!! :)
I can't wait for finalization day...I'm still dying for pics of your little one! :)
Hi sweet girl! I just love your heart. Know that we are celebrating your victories over fear, and we continue to pray for you. I CANNOT wait to see Abigail! I am sad to think of all I am missing. So excited for finalization, the next step on an amazing journey. Give J our love and give your precious daughter a big squeeze from us! Love you!
Love those smiles! How fun. So happy. And, the fear part, too.
I need to learn from you!
Hey Lady, I laughed when you e-mailed me that pic! I am really glad you guys enjoyed hanging out with part of our brood. They have had nothing but good things to say about it! And a special thank you for the Valentine's card. I nearly cried at your thoughfulness and the special card. Since I have my children with my most of the time, they don't have much opportunity to make something for me. I am so thankful for you! {{{hugs}}}
