It has been the BEST year of our lives- ALL 5 OF US! None of us have ever been filled with so much joy. None of us have ever felt so loved. None of us have ever had to rely on each other so much. None of us have ever experienced such amazing things from God himself. He has been our fortress throughout this year and will continue to be throughout our parenting.
Psalm 113:2
May the Lord's name be praised now and forevermore!
