Fearfully and Wonderfully Made ~

The Summer has come and with it sunny days, jumps on the trampoline, popsicles, campfires and s'mores.... delectable family memories.

This Summer has also brought along our newest addition ~ 

Charlotte Katherine Ines made her grand debut on August 1st at 3:24am after only an hour and 24 minute labour! That's what we call fast and furious folks ~ trust me!

                                                              Isn't she just delightful?!

Having Lotte finally here has brought such a wonderful dynamic to our family! The 2 big sisters are thrilled to help change diapers, pick out her clothes and snuggle with her!

                                                      My 3 beautiful girls ~ true 'God Gifts'


It has also made me realize more and more how miraculous this creation of life is! How amazing to think that this little one began as a group of cells and developed into this beautiful, healthy baby. Only a Great Creator could arrange that! He knit her together in my womb and she has been fearfully and wonderfully made! What thanksgiving has been in my heart, more so since Lotte arrived, than I can really remember ... how can our hearts not swell when we see those eyes taking things in for the first time ~ the way they sleep, the little hands and feet .... 'O taste and see that the Lord, HE is Good!'

As we begin this new chapter as a family of 5, we are excited to see what He has in store. One thing is for sure ... with Him leading the way, we follow knowing that this Great One has a great plan!
