About Our Family

August 21st 2008, I married the love of my life. April 26th 2009, we were blessed with a son- Gabriel (meaning "God is my strength"). He was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at one month old. But we aren't settling for that. We have faith in God to heal him and give him devine health. Gabriel Isaac, "a miracle waiting to happen." And what a miracle he has been already! God continually gives him amazing health! A year and a half later we had the desire in our hearts to try for a second child. We prayed and trusted God not to give us any more than we could handle- hoping for a healthy CF free second child, and deep down wanted a girl. June 15th 2011, we were blessed with a daughter, we named her Ellie Grace "Shining Light". Two weeks later, we found out she does not have CF. Thank you God for all the miracles you let my husband and I witness ♥

Busy, busy, busy...

So I haven't gotten to blog much since we moved, I have stayed so busy with Gabe and when I do have spare time I spend quality time with my family. Gabriel is doing well, he has two teeth now, both on the bottom. He sits all on his own (he has for a awhile now) he rolls, scoots, sits up, points, says "ma ma" and "da da" (but isn't sure what it means yet), naps less, "dances" to his cartoons in the morning, nods his head, eats crackers and baby cookies (knaws on them), takes baths in the "big person" bath tub, makes noises with his mouth, plays peek-a-boo, and makes kissing noises and faces :) He is truly a JOY! I love him so much. Raising him has had its ups and downs, every heartache we've been through has all been worth it, just to sit on the floor and play with him makes me forget all the hard times. He truly makes my heart smile. I love to watch him play with his daddy, sometimes it brings tears to my eyes to see him so happy. God has blessed us more than words can say. Only God knows what's in store for our lives and when Gabe's miracle will be; But until then we just keep praising and trusting in Him. We will be going to Sierra Vista to visit our families for Christmas, so far we believe Robert has it off from work. Rob just put up our Christmas lights on our house last night. It makes it feel so homey.

Starting in January I will be applying to volunteer at the Hospital that Gabe had his surgery at, I will be in the Pediatrics unit. My goal is to pray for people, share God's word and give hope. Just like I needed when I was going through a hard time. I'm excited!
