Happy Birthday!

 

 

 

Nine years ago on December 28th Kaitlyn Irene entered our lives -- NINE DAYS LATE!
She was ironically due on our One year anniversary.
I honestly cannot say we were 'excited' about our upcoming arrival, it wasn't the way it was 'supposed' to be. There were many things we thought we 'lost' when we found out about the new life that would be joining us, dreams we thought were for the best.

BUT, as soon as we took one look at that beautiful little girl that God so GRACIOUSLY gifted to us, it all became clear. THIS WAS IT! THIS was THE path we were supposed to be on. Forget all that other stuff we thought we were missing out on, this was it! Life's greatest adventure. The opportunity to shape a life for Him.

She has brought us SO much joy over the last nine years that to think of life happening any differently for us would just be emptiness. We are so thankful that God thought us worthy enough to take care of this precious young lady. She continues to grow into a young lady after God's own heart and we could not be prouder!
