I Love Toys & Hate Tummy Time


Hope has a new bouncy seat that she loves! It plays music and she can touch each piece!


We are working on tummy time, its important but its not her favorite part of the day!

"Mommy, Let's Get Down the Box"

As we prepare Hope's nursery, I am in the process of organizing her clothes into age appropriate tubs. Tonight, I packed up 0-3 months and found myself tearing up over a thankful heart that we have baby Hope and a bit saddened that our baby is getting big so fast. She has added a new joy into our hearts and home. She captivates us with those big blue eyes and smiles like no other.
I have a special box with significant little things in it pertaining to Hope and our Adoption story. This evening I reserved my favorite little outfits for that box. The ones that remind me of what we did the day she first wore them...you know, the ones that tell a story that will be special for her to hear one day. I imagine when Hope is ready that she will frequent this box and want me to tell her the story time and again,"A Story of Hope".I look forward to those sweet times when I can share what a gift she is and the priceless treasure God has entrusted to us. I learned long ago to never be afraid to share your story...it may be life changing for the one listening.
