I wish I were more poetic or just a better wordsmith period. I wish I could express how full my heart feels. And how in awe I feel. I think back over the journey that led us to where we are now and am so emotional about it all. I look back over how God was working in us the whole time so that not only have we finally gotten our family but we have grown as we travelled this road. I hope that we will never forget to appreciate every moment with our children.
I have shed tears for so many people who haven't been able to have children or have lost children. I know a little of how it feels to have your heart broken and I spent so many months and years mostly sad, wondering if I would always feel that way. It's an amazing place to be - this place I am in right now. Talk about the "UPS" of ups and downs. We have been gifted these 4 boys and I cannot imagine anything better than this.
We are home now and really happy to be starting this new chapter of our lives. It will be extremely tiring but, speaking of my heart feeling full, the sides are overflowing with appreciation for all the people who love us. So many wonderful friends and family. When that many people are praying for you and supporting you, wonderful things are bound to happen and boy, have they ever! SO, thank you all!
We have had 2 decent nights. Pretty much what you'd expect - but the babies still sleep alot so we have to actually wake them up to feed them. That means, so far, we get the solid 3 hours between feedings. The babies are doing well. We'd like them to be a little more awake. So far they have slept most of the day and night. They haven't started gaining weight yet but that'll come soon.
Caden likes his baby brothers and kisses them and wants to be near them. He seems to be doing ok so far. It's a little like a party for him these days. He gets presents and has stayed overnight with grandma and grandpa. Hung out with lots of his favorite people. I think he's a little played out, if anything, but seems to be pretty happy.
So - things are going well and we're on to another day. We'll try to get more pictures up this weekend but there are no promises :)
