You are a MOM and all your focus is on sweet Millie. I love it so much!!!<br /><br />I can finally catch up on blog commenting now that we're back from our vacation. We had short spurts of internet access and Dave and I both agreed that updating Instagram and then checking out your blog/Instagram feeds were our top priorities. We are both sooooo thrilled for, and joyful with, you, Matt, and Millie as you begin this journey as a family of three together.Natashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16350800415772519653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549335122964279342.post-32786009295845458432014-08-18T12:38:56.627-04:002014-08-18T12:38:56.627-04:00Oh my gosh, so much to comment on....

I love that you draw straws as to who will walk the dog - we are so similar in that we fight over who gets to push the stroller as opposed to hold Belle's leash, ha ha!!

(but really I teared up when I read it and my husband wondered why I'm so weird!)<br /><br />So very happy for y'all! I've been thinking a lot about the Lord's timing and how hard it can be to walk through and wait at times, but how perfectly orchestrated it ends up being. Would you ever have dreamed that your mourning of Ellison 9 months ago were also the same days that the Lord was beginning to knit together sweet Millie? The time line is also a picture of his redemption of grace and leaves no question that she was created for you and Matt!<br /><br />p.s. hope that makes sense... and I'm not saying that you haven't had those thoughts yourself, just an example of how y'alls story is reaching so many others!<br /><br />p.p.s. I'm afraid I have some grammar errors in my little paragraph up there but I don't have enough time to really try to rewrite it and fix it. don't block me from your blog now ;) Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07536226634130168048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549335122964279342.post-10406707687148624072014-08-12T14:32:15.393-04:002014-08-12T14:32:15.393-04:00I've been silently stalking your blog for a wh...I've been silently stalking your blog for a while now.

I tried, but just got a lot of horrible feedback- I think from having the camera + receiver so close together (on the same nightstand)?? Even when we moved the receiver one to the other nightstand, we still got feedback. It was devastating because it was SUCH a great idea!!!
