One week old!

A week is already gone by & it feels like she's been here forever. That could be because I feel like we've been awake for most of it, or just because she's so cute! After the adrenaline wears off from the first few days, it seems so easy to forget about being thankful for the easy delivery. Now it's the ups & downs of emotions to deal with for the next few months. I think Eli will need a lot of prayer to deal with me! The kids love their baby sister but are missing "mommy time" so I'm trying to take each one of them every few days by themselves to go shopping and just spend some alone time with them. It's good to get to be with them & listen to what's going on in their little minds. I have to admit they've been dealing with small living quarters very well, probably a lot better than I would have at their age (or mine!) We're still praying for a house, but also trying to trust that God will provide it at the right time. I wish I could say that I don't worry about it at all, but as much as I trust God one day, I find myself doubting the very next. I guess we are like our children, learning a lesson, forgetting it, & having to learn it all over again! We sure do miss everybody & appreciate all the emails & comments. I will post more pictures soon.
