I love his bright blue eyes and award winning smile. I love that he is no longer a lost boy. I love reading your blog. I sincerely hope that you are rejuvenated by your trip! You are an inspiration to folks like me who see to flounder at every turn. Thank you for being you. I empathize with you and your husband during these times of grief and despair and pray for your hearts to heal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7297657180254499319.post-20786416081947621962011-08-08T11:27:08.197-04:002011-08-08T11:27:08.197-04:00Lifting you and your family up in prayer...Lifting you and your family up in prayer...Amieehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04279245244288075326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7297657180254499319.post-5507461133640846202011-08-08T10:22:18.858-04:002011-08-08T10:22:18.858-04:00I wrote a big long note, but it was on my other co...I wrote a big long note, but it was on my other computer which doesn't have google chrome so I couldn't post it. <br /><br />The bottom line is that I am praying and hoping you have a wonderful, relaxing vacation.

Madeline thinks the first trip to the doctor will be the fix-all for her legs regardless of what we tell her. Yes a long road but we're so grateful we have the Lord and other parents out there that can relate and give us encouragement.<br />We are going camping for a whole week !! can't wait for the break too :)<br />Carolyn<br />http://www.hebrewselevevone.blogspot.comDavid and Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17921347445113743943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7297657180254499319.post-87962744400255823992011-08-07T18:15:02.705-04:002011-08-07T18:15:02.705-04:00Julia,

I feel like my life revolves around therapy, IEP meetings, doctor's appointments, etc....and add in a 50 hour work week and I feel like a big, fat failure at the end of most weeks. The beach trip was very therapeutic for all of us. We needed time to just play, relax and be together. I have been obsessed with adopting another child and can't seem to "find the right fit" for us, so I continue to search, pray, and think about it to the wee hours of the morning, but Cole and Caden are up at 645 am each morning to remind me that I am old and that I should go to bed much earlier. Knowing what you know about the lost boys has to weigh heavy on your heart and mind constantly, but I admire you and I look forward to a post from you everyday! <br /><br />I would like to send Aaron a little present for his birthday. Will you let me know your mailing address (and any suggestions) please?<br /><br />Stephanie Carmichael<br />steffie1019@hotmail.comStephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15955813595664715067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7297657180254499319.post-37392875112591189142011-08-07T11:52:26.800-04:002011-08-07T11:52:26.800-04:00It does seem that God gives us more than we can ha...It does seem that God gives us more than we can handle sometimes, and He does...but He never gives us more than we can handle together with Him. I sometimes wish I could go back to before I knew about the nursing homes that exist in our state of Virginia for little ones with disabilities. I wish I could go back before I met Kayla, our little goddaughter who died, and just never fall in love with that little girl in the nursing home...<br /><br />But here we are. <br /><br />Forever changed by what God has chosen to show to us. And I am thankful for all of you who have seen what you've seen, and choose to march on with that knowledge and work to find Gods plan for you in it. <br /><br />Praying for a blissful few days at the beach for you and your sweet family. <br /><br />God bless,<br /><br />Brooke<br />www.TheAnnessaFamily.blogspot.comThe Annessa Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11929967116411498173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7297657180254499319.post-48721999013278237612011-08-07T11:28:24.838-04:002011-08-07T11:28:24.838-04:00You and your family are in my prayers Julia.

The Hebrew word means to spin in a dance. I love to picture Jesus doing this over us. I hope that as you spend time watching the waves, watching your boys, you can feel our Jesus singing over you, comforting you, just all around you...love you, friend. Slow, deep breaths...you will get through it, one prayer at a time.Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15972732001833933418noreply@blogger.com
