Sick

I have wondered from time to time how I would react if Elisabeth were to get sick and leave me to take care of the girls. Well today I found out. There appears to be a stomach bug going around that has made it's way into our home, affecting first Clara, and now both Liz and Ellie. I have expressed my appreciation to Liz for the way that she takes care of the girls on a daily basis, she is so good with them. She is a very patient person and just seems to have a way about her that calms them just by being there, which is not a gift that I posses. So now as I type these words while the family is napping I find myself praying that God will continue to transform me into the father that he wants me to be. I love my girls dearly and want them to know that daddy will always be there to care for them the best way that I can.

Home

My daughters are home. As I sit here typing these words I am filled with emotion thinking about how long it took to get to this place. Clara and Ellie have been here with us for almost two months and sometimes I still have trouble grasping the fact that they are here.

I don't even know how to begin to explain how blessed I feel when I look at their sweet faces or think about them when I am at work. I don't know how someone can not believe in God and his mercies after hearing about our girls. We even had a Pediatrician who saw them recently who said something to a similar effect. Clara and Ellie have a special calling on their lives and it is our great pleasure to watch them grow into the special women that God has called them to be. I am grateful that they are here.
