Thank you for YOUR patience.

Thank you for YOUR patience.

30 years old and I have been patient, I thought.

9 months, 40 weeks, a piece of cake.

7 months later, when is this ever going to end.

9 months, 2 days later, why did I sign up for this!!!

9 months, 2 days and 16 hours later...

It's a beautiful girl with lots of dark hair.

Sigh, Smile.

Thank you LORD.

14 months later...

I've done this, I can do this....

"Patience is a virtue and we are going to be virtuous women."

5 day short of 8 months and..."Oh no...not yet."

It's a girl and she is fine.

Sigh, Smile.

Thank you LORD.

8 months later...

Oh, WOW...

"Patience is a virtue and we are going to be virtuous women."

4 months...

"Maybe twins..."

"Not twins, just a big baby that will be coming a month earlier than you expect."

3 months later...

"It's called false labor"

Oct 21st... 3:00 am

"This is not false labor!"

4:06 am.

It's a girl! 9 pounds, 8 oz. and one month early!

Thank you LORD!

My mother's voice in my head....

"The only thing better than two girls is Three."

18 years,10 months to the date later.

My two on the left, two more BFF's on the the right

I go from "Active parenting" to full time...

"Praying Parenting"

Two girls going away to college at one time...

Whose idea was this?

Thank you LORD.

"Patience is a virtue and we are going to be virtuous women"

She Shall be Praised

Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
Strength and honor are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth no the bread of idleness.
Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
Favor is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.
Give her the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.
- Proverbs 31: 10, 25-31






P.S. They also have a "little" brother. My 6 foot tall man child who will leave the nest long before I am ready.
