And Baby Makes 5




We have another baby in the house! Today we picked up baby Cardale. He is a foster child who will be staying with us for we don't know how long. He is 6 months old and a lightweight compared to our boys! So far he is a happy baby. He has been smiling at us and likes watching the boys. We've been prepping Caleb about another baby in the house and he is really excited today. He couldn't wait to meet Cardale and he has been very helpful. Isaac's reaction was adorable. He had just gotten up from his nap and Nate brought him downstairs to me. I was holding Cardale and Isaac just stared at him. Slowly Isaac's face went from one of interest to teary eyes and trembling lips to crying. Basically he was saying, "what is that baby doing on my Mom's lap?!" Isaac has since warmed up to him.

So life is going to be interesting around here. I love the last picture. I have that, "what did I get myself into?" look on my face. But, we feel God is calling us to this and we're trying to remember to not worry about tomorrow and know that we can do all things through Christ who gives us strength. We would appreciate all of your prayers!

I'm so glad you posted this! He's a cutie and I'm glad to hear the boys are adjusting well so far. You guys will be great parents to all three of them, for however much time you have with baby Cardale! Praying for your first night with 2 babies! =)

I'm so thankful that God has placed this on your heart. You and Nate will provide wonderful and loving care for all three boys (even if you get overwhelmed!). We'll be praying for you, give me a call if you need to vent! :)
