It’s amazing how quickly life has changed in our home. It was just a few weeks ago when I was feeling like this wasn’t EVER going to happen. I mean, I knew God had a plan and I trusted that plan but it just felt like it was taking forever. These kids are worth waiting forever for.
Some kids from church came over today to hang a swing in the front yard for Speedy. I’m so overwhelmed by the love that our friends are pouring out onto our family these days. And Speedy LOVES his swing. I wish I could post a picture of his beautiful smile – it lights up the whole room.
Here are some pictures I can share with you. The first is Speedy helping Grammie wash her hair! I tried to keep him away but he LOVES the water and really thought he should help.
The next one is tiny toes. My little princess even has adorable hands and feet! They are growing so fast, too! I can’t believe how much bigger they are than when we first brought her home.
Finally, the little hands.

Comment by melony February 16, 2006 @ 2:18 pmA Poem for Speedy
Love flows freely
into the heart of a little boy,
when his spirit is open,
and there is an aura of joy.
Nurturing hands
handle with care,
this young one is special,
protect him from despair.
Life is full of hope,
faith will conquer fear,
love is the answer
bathe him in prayer.
Words can not express,
the joy that we feel,
keep dancing happy boy,
our love for you is real.

A Poem for Princess
Love is the reason,
we must confess,
you came into our life,
our special Princess.
Our hearts were longing,
to give our love away,
to a precious little girl,
to the Father, we did pray.
His answer is in our hands,
our hearts are full of joy,
We have a precious baby girl,
and a happy dancing little boy.

I can’t wait to come play with Speedy on his very own swing. It can spin in circles like the one across the street, right? There’s nothing better than seeing Speedy laugh when he’s really dizzy.

Comment by ass2006 February 16, 2006 @ 5:29 pmI found your blog through my site meter – someone had done a search for Patrick Dempsey and lakehouse and came up with your site and mine (my parents live on Lake Jacksonville, directly across the cove from Mr. D and family). Anyway, I originally came here to see what you had written about PD and instead found myself reading an amazingly touching and fantastic blog. I’m from Houston, and knowing you are relatively close makes it seem a little more like home.
Your testimony to your faith and the events in your life are amazing. Your journey is far from over. Enjoy those babies…you will find every day brings you a whole new world of laughter and growing.
By the way, I did make it back to the painting of the nursery and WOW! If you ever decide to make it a business, let me know!
