Watch - Pray - Repeat

We are in the final stretch. We are overhauling the house & trying to schedule our home study.We have a to-do list that seems a mile long right now and there are not enough hours in the day. (more updates to come) But God wants me to get out of the way. He's got big things planned, and this 'child of weakness' needs to do only three things. 
1) Watch
2) Pray
3) Repeat

I just need to remind myself of this sometimes. (By sometimes, I mean every hour.)


"I hear the Savior say
 
Thy strength indeed is small, Child of weakness watch and pray,       Find in me thine all in all."

Let's Rock!

Even children in foster care need a little rock 'n roll!  Here's a little teaser of the rocking chair that's coming our way.
Picture Glam Rock with a little Contemporary R&B, peppered with a fairy tale.

It's a true Ugly Duckling bedtime story.

This Goodwill find...
Will magically turn into this lovely swan...

How perfect


My sweet aunt Lauren got this for us. This might just be the most perfect poster for their room.


First wall art for the room.

We're freaked out


Our sweet friends are throwing us a gift card shower to help us prepare for the little ones.  Even though we knew full well that this party was going to happen, seeing the words, "Nick and Jaklin's Baby Shower" in large font felt like we were hit with the reality stick.

Judge our reactions for yourself.
