In an Instant


Isn't it amazing how God can change our life in an instant....

One minute we are blessed with TWO beautiful girls and the next minute we find out that we are actually blessed with THREE!! Yes, THREE! Who knew that all of our three bedrooms upstairs would be filled with light pinks and dark pinks and hot pinks (and yes, Maddie, LIGHT GREEN too!)



As I checked on the girls tonight as they were sleeping, one of my favorite parts of the day, I couldn't help but wonder how it would feel to make my "rounds" to the three bedrooms instead of just the two....This is the time of night that my heart just swells with love and amazing contentment as I looked at their sleeping faces cuddled up under their blankets, stuffed poodles, raccoons and kitties, beautifully tranquil in their "warm spots." They are safe and calm and peaceful and they are the most beautiful that I have ever seen them. And to know that I will have one more incredible face to stare at is an unbelievable thought to me. I can't wait to experience my bed time routine with yet ANOTHER precious GIRL.

It is getting late and I am mentally running through my checklist before bed....lunches are packed, clothes are laid out, backpacks are accounted for and all THREE of our girls are tucked safe in their "warm spots"....check, check, check, and CHECK! In an instant, it went from two to three and I have never been happier!

Ah, you made my eyes well up! I'm so excited for you and your THREE girls in their three rooms in their three beds. It will be fun to see your family adjust to a third sweet, beautiful little girl. I can't wait to meet her! Love you - and all your GIRLS! You too, Beto. Hee hee.
