Time with our Montana family couldn’t have been

Time with our Montana family couldn’t have been sweeter. With SEVEN girls between us, there was always someone to hug, hold, and soak up sweetness from.

So thankful for every moment we had (and all the fish we caught thanks to Uncle Josh and amazing meals we ate thanks to Aunt LG!).

Happy Gotcha Day to our beautiful Mia Grace! Six y

Happy Gotcha Day to our beautiful Mia Grace! Six years ago today we brought you into our family to be forever ours.

I read this quote in my devotional first thing this morning: “We who want to bring about change have first of all to learn to be changed by those who we want to help.” Henri Nouwen

Mia Grace has changed me almost more than anyone else on planet earth. She has helped me understand who I am by helping me see who she is - beloved, adopted, changed, redeemed, part of a forever family, called “mine” by parents, siblings, and an extended family who love her more than words can say.

Adoption is not for the faint of heart, but it is for those who want to be changed in heart to understand more of the depth of the riches of the mercy and steadfast love of the Lord Jesus Christ.

He gets all the glory for this precious life He’s placed into our forever family.

Celebrating with our Montana cousins and aunt and uncle made the day even that much more special! Thank you for the love, hugs, and cinnamon rolls, @lauragracebaker, Uncle Josh, Annie, Lucy, and Josie!

Happy Belated 4th! I hope everyone had a great wee

Happy Belated 4th! I hope everyone had a great weekend celebrating!

To start off the week, I have ONE MORE CAMP LETTER. This might be my favorite one yet.

“Mom and Dad, I HATE this camp and you were wrong, it is not a blast. I was writing that good stuff because the counselors would see, but now I will tell you from the BOTTOM of my HEART. I hate this camp. Pick me up before Monday because I can’t stand it...Pick me up soon. I almost threw up and I threw up some the other day. Pick me up soon. Please. This is a cussing camp, a not caring for camp, and that is NO lie. I Hate it. Hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate it...They make you do stuff and they said they wouldn’t. Pick me up soon...God loves you and so do I. Write back soon. Jason.”

I could not make that up. 😭🤣🙈 and the ultimate irony - he ended up as a counselor at this same camp 12 years later...and loved it. Thank you, Tricia Hurley, for the picture!

Today is camp pick up day for my oldest two, so in honor of Jason’s camp pick up day (see picture 😂), here’s another letter 🏕

In the letter to his mom, to try to get her to come pick him up, eight-year-old Jason really hones in on the cussing and the fact that he’s not getting to do his devotionals. But with his dad, it’s all about the money, potential danger, and math problems. Enjoy...

“Dear Dad, 🌟Happy Father’s Day.🌟 I only have 11 days until you pick me up. I wish you could pick me up from this cussing camp. It is a HARABLE Camp. I wish you hadn’t of wasted your money. You payed more money than you should of because some of the guys only paid $400 dollars. I HATE THIS CAMP. Jesus loves you and so do I. Write back soon. I have not been able to do the math problems you have given me because we work so hard. I have a couple of scratch and bruses. This place is so dangerous yesterday a guy got stitches, a counselor brook his arm and a boy brook his arm. HAPPY FATHER’S DAY. Tell everybody Hello!

P.S. I have coughed ever since you left. I do not want to come to this camp ever. I mean it. I really don’t like it. SECERET: Rob and Scott are nice and Craig. Tonight is the dance. Liz might be my pardner. And we are going to have a picnic. This is a weird place. Tell every body to write me. You write me to. Love, Jason

P.P.S. I wish you wouldn’t of wasted your money.”
