I wonder what this means for Natty?
In his short little life, he has already had 3 mommys, & the other two have had the privilege of “holding” him longer than me (so far-but, before we know it, the time will fly by & he will have been w/ us longer than either one of them-just like it did w/ Ruthie)
Does home for Natty mean:
Love?
Food?
Kisses?
Hugs?

(ok, I know it looks as if the sling is OVER his mouth, but I promise, it's not!!)Hearing Spanish?
Hearing English?
Wouldn’t you love to get into a baby’s head to see what they’re really thinking?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Natty is slowly but surely beginning to settle into his new family life.
He is being held A LOT!!!
By Daddy, Mommy, big sister Ana & I even caught Ruthie trying to pick him up this morning!
He is recovering from his ear infection & horrible diaper rash, & his demeanor is becoming more & more clear.
He seems to be very mellow, serious baby, who loves to wiggle.
He made his debut at church yesterday, where his Daddy introduced him (& read the story out of John about Nathanael, Jesus’ disciple, in whom there was no guile) , & prayed for his salvation & spiritual growth, & for wisdom as we raise him.
On the legal front, we began the process if getting him a social security number today.
Please pray for both Mama Anna & the rest of the foster family, as I’m sure their arms are aching from emptiness, & they have generously given our family a total of over a year of their lives. Oh, how we thank God for all the love they showered on both of our kids, & the willingness they had to take our children, knowing they would have to say a painful goodby one day.
Thank-you to our WONDERFUL foster family! There are no words for this gift of love you have given our children.
Also, please pray for the kids’ biological mother, who knows they are w/ the same family (but little else), & it has given her peace, (according to some info we have), but I’m sure she still has had a hard time saying goodby, as well. Thank-you for the indescribable gift of Ruth & Nathaniel!
Oh, it is GOOD to be home!!!Arms & hearts are full!!
Full w/ love for our family (here & those in GT who will always be a part of our family),
but mostly full w/ love for our heavenly Father, who has made this whole adventure that is our life possible!
With the foster family.
