Happy Fall Ya'll!

I love this weather and this time of year! I really love it because it means we are close to Christmas, which is my all time favorite time of the year! We have been so busy over the last 2 mths. Life is good, just fast. I started my job back in August. It is technically a 2 day a week job, but it is so much more than that! I have gone to a staff retreat, conference in Orlando, and done some speaking engagements. My husband has been amazing and has not complained one time that he has had the kids by himself! I am loving this job and this ministry more than I could have ever imagined. It's amazing how much you love your job when you are in the will of God!
Titus is growing sooo much! I can't believe he will be two in just a few weeks. I can because of his attitudes at time, but I can't because it seems like yesterday I found out I was pregnant with him. He definitely has a lot of energy and keeps me going. He loves his baby sister and wants to continuously be beside her and hugging her. She is the only one he will give kisses to! I love watching them see each other in the morning, just huge smiles and laughs the whole time! I am busy planning his birthday party, so check back for pictures.
Emmy is also doing amazing. She is 5 mths now! At her 4 mth check up she weighed 16 lb 1 oz and was 23.5 inches long. She has definitely beat Titus in the weight and height category! She is the happiest, most laid back baby. She is trying so hard to sit up, I know it won't be long!
We had Emmy's bloodwork done this past week. She has been eating baby food (fruits and veggies) for a month. Her levels rose back up to 7. That is not a huge jump, but Dr Bock would like to see them come down closer to 4. We will have a phone meeting with him tomorrow to discuss what we need to do to get the numbers down. It may mean cut out some of the formula, replacing with fruits, or it may be changing formula all together. It was definitely not the report we wanted to get, but we still know the Great Physician and the one who knew Emmy before she was even in our thoughts. I prayed on Thursday morning and I did ask God for a healing, but I also said no matter what I would be content knowing that he was in control. I can't see the big picture and I don't know what the future holds, but I do know who holds the future. Emmy is perfect to us and we know God has big plans for her life!





I will leave you with some pics of this past week. Love to all!
