14 Months Old Today!!!

Savannah is 14 months old today and what a blessing she is in our lives! I am so thankful that we took our journey of faith to adopt our sweet daughter. To think of all that we could have missed had we not decided to follow God's leading. I cannot imagine what life would be like without Savannah and I am so glad that we did not listen to the many skeptics and all of the little whispers from Satan who was trying to stop us from doing God's work. He wanted us to go down the path of despair, hopelessness, and faithlessness, but God had better things planned for us! God gave us joy in the hard times and hope in the promise that He would complete the journey He started to bring Savannah home! God is faithful and true! Sometimes I wonder what else we could be missing that God wants to show us, but we are too afraid to do what He asks or step out in faith to do something that may seem crazy to other people. What is He asking you to do? Are you choosing to listen to Him or walk away from all He has in store for you? It is my prayer that we will not be afraid to take the next leap of faith when God asks us to...because I know that He will ask us to do something, it's only a matter of when! Stay tuned to see what God asks us to do next, it is sure to be another amazing journey! I cannot wait!

We decided to get both of the girls ears pierced today! My sister Lindsay and my friend Laura were there to lend their support (mostly for me, since I was a wreck! I hate to see my babies in pain!) Mackenzie is now 3.5 years old and she chose purple earrings in 14 karat gold, which for anyone who knows Kenzie, knows that purple is the only choice she could make...it's her favorite color!! We picked a beautiful pair of light pink earrings in 14 karat gold for Savannah and she looks gorgeous! Both girls were so brave and sat completely still for their ear piercings! Thankfully, they had one lady on each ear so they only had to go through the pain once. They cried for a minute and then all was well! This afternoon, you would never even know that they just had them pierced!

Here are a few pictures...Kenzie is wearing her new purple swimming goggles in one (she's becoming a great little swimmer!) and the close-up of Savannah's earrings looks like her ear is purple, but that is just left-over ink from the dot they use to center the earring (it's not a bruise!!)...
