"Common Ground": my little corner of the blogosphere where I talk (a lot-wink) about the things that matter most to me: My relationship with my Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ, homeschooling, adoption, homemaking, parenting, "spousing." (yeah, yeah....I know that's not a word.....I made it up-it’s my blog-I can do things like that! Ha!)

Since my life isn’t all that different from yours, hopefully we can find some COMMON GROUND & learn from each other. Please share your thoughts!

Through the Lords’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not.

They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness!
Lam. 3: 22 & 23

YES!!!! We have our baby!!!!!!

Our foster mother, holding Nathaniel & w/ her grandaughter holding Ana's hand.





Cute husband of mine & his son!
*****************************************************************
Today was more than I could ever have imagined!







Our foster mother arrived at 9:30 this morning for breakfast in the hotel, & to drop off Nathaniel for the week.







This has all gone so fast, at first I was kindof worried that he would not feel like mine when he was placed in my arms, & quite honestly,




w/ trying to catch up w/ our FM (who also took care of Ruthie),


keep an eye on Ruth's wanderings,


rocking Ruthie to sleep,


eating breakfast,


feeding Ruth




Etc...Etc...Etc.... it WAS hard to concentrate on the new baby. BUT......





a few hours later, Ruth & Ana needed naps, so Daddy stayed in the room w/ them & Nathaniel & I went to the lobby & the Baby Lounge for some good one-on-one.





I gazed in his eyes.......



he smiled at me.......





and I KNEW! I just KNEW! He is MINE! (well, of course, I do have to share, but, you know.....)





I wish I had better pictures to post of him, but like his sister Ruthie, he doesn't cooperate well w/ "camera happy" people.





Enjoy!!!
