I have no idea where she learned this song or why, but she is so cute singing it. i apparently told her she could watch herself if she sang it for me so she kept stopping to see if she could be done. of course i made her do the whole thing. she is so fun. i love this singing kick she has been on. i hope it stays with her.

How God Created a Miracle in Our Family...
Most people look at our family and either say "you're crazy" or "what a blessing". It is that statement alone that sets people apart in how they view what happens in life. We were childless for 6 years before God blessed us with our third foster child, Isaiah, whom we adopted. Our tiny, three pound, adorable baby boy quickly became the love of our lives.
8 months after Isaiah was born, my father-in-law gave a woman a ride. That 4 block ride changed our lives forever when she told him she was pregnant and giving up her baby for adoption. Oh yeah...and she was due in 8 days! Well, just 5 days later, we had Makenna Shea!
3 months later, after Dirk and I had just prayed to have another baby when Makenna was about 1, that same birth mother called asking us to take her next baby. Isabella was born 1 week shy of Makenna's first birthday!
The funny part of the story is when we found out that I, the one who could never get pregnant, was pregnant! Ian was born 7 weeks after Isabella! God had given us 4 children all under the age of 1 1/2!!! We were thrilled! Such a work of God's hands it was.
This year we added to our clan when we were surprisingly pregnant again (so much for not being able to get pregnant). We now have 5 under 4! And I now wonder how mom's manage with all those kids so spread apart in age. It may be hard sometimes, but we love our life!

Hey Sarah...Kim here...
I see you have a blog... I have had a blog for about two years... I love it... It is my personal journal about my walk with Christ and how that plays out in life. I am on Facebook, but I do most of my writing at my blog.
I didn't know the story about how you got Makenna (I think that is how you spell her name)... What a God moment...Aren't they all God moments though?
Blessings and feel free to stop by my bloggy anytime... Kim
