Caroline's Friday Night

Caroline spent her first birthday playing by the Pacific Ocean in Hawaii but it took us 4 months to get her ten miles down the road to put her feet in the Gulf of Mexico. Rick, Nara and I took Caroline to the beach for a few minutes tonight before heading to the high school football game to watch Devon. She enjoyed the beach but she loved to dance with the band at the football game.

Happy Birthday Rick

Happy Birthday Rick

Happy Birthday to my sweet husband! He always has a way of making his birthday special for me. We went out to dinner and I am the one that got cake. Tomorrow we will have a family birthday dinner. I think Caroline is going to love it.

Thursday’s Things to Pray For

Thursday’s Things to Pray For

First of all I must update, all of the prayers have helped. Caroline has had a much better week, but please continue to pray for her continued adjustment.

Caroline is quite a walker but after all day at daycare she loves to be carried so please pray for my back. Carrying her has done some damage to it

Please pray for Nara and Devon as they enjoy the last bit of summer break. They start school 8/23. We are all praying for a great year.

Thursday’s Things to Pray For

1) I started back to work this week and it has been a challenge. Sweet Caroline is not so sweet early in the morning. She has really struggled with the change in her schedule. Please pray for her to adjust to her new schedule and please pray that as a family we adjust to this change.
2) Caroline appears to have a real a lactose issue. We are trying to find the diet that works best for her. Please pray for her continued good health.

Please join my prayer/blog friends on this Thursday post. I think it is fair to say we could all use prayer friends.

KISSES IN THE WIND(The Waiting Child's Lullaby)

I read this often as we waited for Caroline

KISSES IN THE WIND(The Waiting Child's Lullaby)

I hold you in my heart and touch you in my dreams.You are here each day with me, at least that's how it seems.I know you wonder where we are... what's taking us so long.But remember child, I love you so and God will keep you strong.Now go outside and feel the breeze and let it touch your skin...Because tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind.May God hold you in His hand until I can be with you.I promise you, my darling, I'm doing all that I can do.Very soon, you'll have a family for real, not just pretend.But for tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind.May God wrap you in His arms and hold you very tight.And let the angels bring the kisses that I send to you each night.~ © Pamela Durkota
