My boy...

This boy has our hearts.  We absolutely could NOT love him more...  God is amazing.  So many babies have been in our home and God chose SPROUT to be ours!! We are so blessed.  A while back, I posted about the dreams I had to walk down the street with my sons chubby hand in mine.  Now, I have the privilege of doing that everyday!  Daily, I am blown away by God's faithfulness!  I always hear '"God won't give you more than you can handle.."  I disagree.  It is in the chaos and the feelings of being overwhelmed that God's glory can be shown.  HIS strength is perfect.  In our weakness HE is strong.  God will give us things that are out of our comfort zone and he will stretch us.  At times it will hurt and feel like we can't take another step.  I've been there.  It's a hard, dark, lonely place.  But the second you realize He is RIGHT THERE with you...HE takes your burden and gives you HIS peace.  This f0ster c@re journey has taught me much about faith.  He has proven to be faithful. 

Growing...

So, it's been a few days more than a month since the adoption has been final.  I don't think my son {smile} got the memo that he is supposed to be mama's baby for a while because it seems that he is growing up super fast!  In the past month, we have said goodbye to the paci, cut down {drastically} on his naps and is into EVERYTHING a 2 year old is.  Well, even though it's age appropriate I still want him to stay, well, LITTLE!  His vocabulary is growing faster than HE is!  Sprout plays well with others and is an extremely friendly little boy.  Believe it or not, we are still recovering from last months whirlwind of the adoption day, adoption party, Sprout's 2nd birthday, Christmas and a house full of people visiting for the festivities.  To be honest, I have been busy enough with 'real life' to worry about foster care.  Our house is currently still certified but our extra cribs are empty and will probably remain that way...at least for a while.  Many decisions need to be made before it's time to re-certify the house.  We have plenty of time for that...right now...I'm off to spend the day with my son!!! {smile}  :)
