So blessed


Aspen and Mia are both napping right now (that so RARELY happens, I just have to savor this moment!) and I should be packing...but I am not. :) Anyway, this morning I was snuggling with my amazing daughters and I felt so strongly that my Heavenly Father KNOWS me. He knows that I needed these two babes in my life; He knew that they both were meant to be in our family. He knows of my struggles and the desires of my heart. How can I ever complain about anything when I have my beautiful girls and they love me and Malo and they will always have so much love from us. Aspen, our daughter who came to us in the most miraculous way, through the love of her birth mother. Mia, our daughter who came into our lives in an equally, but different miraculous way. How can I ever look at these girls and not feel the love of my Heavenly Father. I am so grateful that HE has entrusted us to raise them and I hope that we never do anything to let Him down. :)

I loved this post. It made me think about my little ones and how much they have blessed my life. I would not be who I am today without them. You are such a good mother to stop and contemplate God's role in your family. I don't think I do that enough. I love seeing how happy your girls are. I don't think Aspen or Mia could have asked for a better Mom and Dad! Good luck with the packing!

I LOVE the matching pink plaid sun outfits- sooo cute!! They definitely look like issters- they have the exact same coloring- soo pretty! Thanks for posting your feelings- it really made me stop and realize how many blessings I have in my life- especially little Grayson:) I was just remembering way back when I first moved to Colorado and you went walking with me in the cold wind around a park by your house- and we were talking about how it had been so hard for you guys to try to have a child- and now you hav etwo Beautiful baby girls- Heavenly Father definitely knows you and Loves you:)
