Looking back & Loving our boys (while waiting on a little girl!)

This past weekend, our good friends, Nat & Cindy came over to grill out on a beautiful Saturday night. Layton was excited to see Nolan & Nathaniel, he squealed with excitement when they pulled into the driveway.

They ran...

and climbed,
-
and had serious conversations,
-
and then decided to play games!
-

All our boys, with the newest addition, baby Luke!
Something must have been really funny to Nolan & Layton?!?
-

Then, I began thinking about our boys and how they have grown up with each other from birth. It all started with Nathaniel, who I met when he came home from the hospital when we lived next door in our old neighborhood.

Then came the little boys, born only 3 days apart.


The little boys, just 13 months old


The little boys, 2 years & 9 months old - look how they have grown!

*p.s. I am really like the lighter, shorter version of my hair in picture #1, thinking about cutting it??!


Nolan & Layton



And a good cookout always ends with a good bath!!
Here at 13 months,

And again at 2 years old,
*and yes I realize they will HATE us for this one day, but it's ok!


The three amigos...

the three amigos, from way back!


I feel so blessed to be journeying through life this girl. She is my sunshine, she is my friend.



And...
we can't wait to meet Kinley Marie,

she will join these sweet boys as their little sister!

Will you join me in praying for my friend and their journey of adoption?

Ms. Kinley has been hand picked by the Lord to join the amazing family, now we wait to see her beautiful face very soon!
