Our Little Brody, We praise God for your little life! When we started this journey, we did not know how long, who God intended for our Family! It has just been 4 years that we started and we prayed that God would be with the hand picked baby, and the mother carrying you! I never imagined it would take so long, and I realize, what a special little boy you are! All the tears, and questions are answered when I hold you and look at your beautiful little face!! To witness the love Ms. R had for you, as well as your Memaw! God is good! You are SO loved! God's plan is way bigger than I could of ever prayed! You had so many wonderful people praying for you, and Ms. R! I know they will continue to pray for your "Auntie" and that she may feel God's love, and find joy in her life! I pray that God will enter your little heart and bring you much joy and love!! I know God has a huge plan for you, and to continue to love and raise you, is a huge blessing!! We praise God for your life, and the courage, your Auntie had!! We love You so much and we thank God for you every day!! Someday, Lord willing we pray, you will meet your other brother in Liberia!! You have 3 big brothers at home, and 1 sister who adores you!! Aunts & Uncles, Grandparents, and other adopted Aunts, Uncles, and Grandma's who love you!!
I Love You Brody!

Edna made the beautiful blue blanket for Brody! Mark and I both do not have living Grandparents and Edna has filled our grandparent void perfectly!

Brody all snuggled in the baby blanket from Edna, and Grandpa C always buys the baptism outfit for each grandchild! Brody looked so handsome!

Preparing for Baptism...

This past week I have been preparing for baptism of our precious Brody. Sunday morning should be less hecktic with the Daylight Savings! Which will come in handy, knowing we will get an extra hour to prepare! Our Family and close friends will all be in church and celebrate afterwards at the All Seasons Center.
It would be awesome to be able to invited all those who have supported us and most of all encouraged us along our way! Beau, Bradyn and Brynn are hopefully going to sing, Safe and Sound by Matthew West, (although there is no accompaniment music, I just hope it will sound ok!) during pictures of our journey. In front of church the family's receive a rose in honor of baptism, I ordered another rose in honor of Ms. R, after all we would not be celebrating this day with out her courage and strength. I am excited for Sunday, it is a huge celebration of God's love for us, and to be reminded of God's care, and our devotion to raise Brody in a home where Christ is the head of our house! I ordered a bunch of pulled pork, I am making cheesy potatoes, baked beans, friends and family are taking salads, bars and of course, have to celebrate with cake!!

This week he had his 2 month check up. He weighs 11 lbs and ll 0z, had his shots, and to Bradyn and Brynn's surprise, the had their flu shots!

Here are some special photos!

Here is a picture of Ms. R and me before we left he hospital!

Precious kisses!

Here is our little Brody leaving the hospital. God's special, beautiful blessing!

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is so good; his love endures forever.
Psalm 107:1

Our thoughts and prayers are with all Mom's who placed precious baby's with Family's. It is a huge sacrifice, of courage and strength! We love Ms. R!

Our Family continues to lift those who are in the process of adopting. I ask for prayers for a dear friend and her family, as they continue to lean on God while waiting for Guatemala to let their children come home!
