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 ♥

A lot has happened...

Well, I know it has been awhile but I'm ready to start blogging again. I've really missed it. A lot has happened since my last post... We bought our first home and moved to an RV for two months while our house was being built, what an experience that was with a one year old! But so worth it, and a neat thing to experience none-the-less. While staying at the RV park we took a trip to California to visit my dad's side of the family, it was nice. June 30th we closed on our home and got the keys, it was so exciting. Next new thing, I found out on October 4th that I am pregnant again. The due date will be June 14th 2011. It took so much prayer and trust in God. We kept trying to burry the desire to have one more child, but it just kept pulling at our hearts. For a year we prayed for God's will and expressed to Him our desire for a second baby. I kept taking tests to see if I was pregnant even when I was using birth control and then being so sad when I wasn't... We finally had prayed again and it was layed on our hearts to try for 3 months to see if we would get pregnant and if it didn't happen we would move on and trust it was God's will for us to just have one child. Well, by month two of trying I was pregnant. No one can make us doubt or feel guilty in any way. It's all between our family and Father God. And we trust Him NO MATTER WHAT. And this baby is loved so much already. We are thankful :) Now on to Gabriel, he is doing absolutely wonderful, in the 95th percentile, and just loving life! He is so smart and loves to learn new things. He also has been trying everything we eat to see if he likes it, it's so cute. He is just the most handsome little boy (ah, yes a little boy... my baby is growing up) EVER! I don't know what I am going to do if we are having another little boy because they will both be too handsome for words! Speaking of which, everyone thinks we are having a girl because I have been terribly nauseous this pregnancy. We will find out the gender in January. And as for me, I have no idea if it's boy or girl... Robert and I are doing well, he is still enjoying his job and I'm... well I'm pregnant... hating the nausea and symptoms but totally happy :) That is it for now!
