"Blessed is the man whose quiver is full" Ps. 127

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!

Easter in Hurstbourne...

Last month Dirk and I were at our new neighbor's house that God has blessed us with. We were talking about how much i think constantly about doing outreaches, but never actaully do them. so...we decided on an easter egg hunt this year to reach out to all those neighbors we never seem to be able to meet. at first i hated the idea becuase i have always disliked easter egg hunts due to how much they distract from the greatest day of the year...Christ's resurrection! however, when i realized that this would enable us to know these people to then be able to reach out to them in a whole new way, i was game!

This is Layne and Meegan. Layne's wife, TC is the one who did the organizing.
