even in the hard times

the Lord blessed us with payton to make us smile. today i was doing dishes and in quite a daze when i realized i heard nothing...and as a mother you know when you hear nothing from your child they are usually into something they shouldn't be.
...this is where i found our sweet payton, sitting in her rocker reading her german baby book that nicole and silka gave us when we lived there.
payton brings us true joy and especially during the tough moments of our lives.

payton loves sitting with her dada while he plays video games.


thank you to everyone for your thoughts, emails, food, and prayers. we believe the Lord will guide us through this journey.
updates to come.
