Where have you been?

I have received that question a lot lately (well in regards to my blog that is!). There are a lot of reasons I can list as to why I have been quite silent these past months (year). The funny thing is, I start blogs in my head all the time, but I can't find the time to write them down. When I finally have a minute to write, I am distracted by all the other AMAZING blogs out there. The boys wake up from their naps and I have written nothing! Sooo, I blame three things --

1 - Facebook -- Let's be honest, sooo much easier to upload uber cute pics of my kiddos quickly from my phone

2 - My computer -- It's on the fritz, so I no longer upload pics to it, and who want to read a blog without said uber cute kiddo pics

3 - All of you -- Your blogs are too darn entertaining:)

4 - Ok, one more!! -- My kiddos -- I have been spending loads more time WITH my children this past year. I used to struggle alot with being a mom. Maybe one day I will post on that. Now, I love it and want to spend all my time loving life with them.

So sorry blog (no not really!), you got the back seat.

All that to say, I do plan on blogging more, although it may look a little different. You see, God is taking us along a bit of a different course, a course that, Lord willing, will take us over 6,000 miles away. We have prayed over this decision and we have been blessed. We ask you to come alongside us in our journey towards adoption from The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). We don't know what the Lord has in store, but we do know one thing....we need YOU! We need your prayers as we move forward. We have already heard a lot of no's from Him, but by faith we will receive our third child in His timing!

I am positive that I will continue to write on this subject, and I hope you don't mind. In the meantime, here is a crazy image to help you gain perspective of a land where our child is coming from.
