It really makes such a huge difference when you know those around you really care and understand.<br /><br />Its so hard to remember when you are anxiously waiting, but it's great to enjoy your family as it is now, b/c soon, it's going to be a completely different dynamic. of course every child is a huge blessing, but this is the last time you can enjoy these moments as a family of 4.Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06368344688034538089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7617028579540588515.post-30365355755211904252010-12-29T21:16:10.438-05:002010-12-29T21:16:10.438-05:00It is so important and hard to keep this wait in p...It is so important and hard to keep this wait in perspective, isn't it? One day I think..how am I going to handle another child and the next I am crying to have him/her home!! :) In a way, I am comforted knowing that it isn't up to me and I can trust that the Lord his going to bring our next child home in the perfect timing. Our wait for Lindsey's referral got longer and longer--we waited 23 months--but she is the PERFECT fit in our family.<br /><br />You are so wise to enjoy today in all that you have--thank you for the reminder!! Happy New Year....a referral new year!! :)Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08139560985607320888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7617028579540588515.post-10762939091206482372010-12-29T20:29:54.672-05:002010-12-29T20:29:54.672-05:00great perspective, christy! i can't wait to me...great perspective, christy! i can't wait to meet big bro and big sis :) hopefully SOON! ;)Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13287678098879352533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7617028579540588515.post-67976866975553672012010-12-29T09:20:53.697-05:002010-12-29T09:20:53.697-05:00What a wonderful perspective to have!

We definitely tried to do that with Olive before Ingrid came home, and I'm so glad we did. Because you're right - there's a nice level of independence your older kids achieve, and that freedom you gain from it is somewhat lost when a littler one comes home.<br />Anyway, merry Christmas!Elizabeth Frickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04369568911391997731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7617028579540588515.post-66564059601345833102010-12-29T09:03:59.766-05:002010-12-29T09:03:59.766-05:00Bless your heart!

Everybody says once you get that baby in your arms you forget all about it....I'm hoping that's true for both of us!

Life has gotten very easy for me too, and I know what you're saying about enjoying the time with your kids no "the calm before the storm". It will be a welcome change, though:)Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02449367455504921952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7617028579540588515.post-89832804527519865462010-12-28T22:11:34.762-05:002010-12-28T22:11:34.762-05:00Yay.
