There is a quote: "LIFE IS NOT ABOUT WAITING FOR THE STORMS TO PASS.... IT'S ABOUT LEARNING TO DANCE IN THE RAIN."
With 12 children and 5 adopted from Russia, we have had challenges and trials along with our joys. We have decided that we must
learn how to "dance in the rain." We must notice and acknowledge the joys and miracles in our lives.
They exist daily -- we just need to make sure we do not miss them!! This blog is to remind us of these miracles and joys!

JULY 6, 2012 -- VERNON MEETS THE VOORHIES BABIES!!

JULY 6, 2012 -- VOORHIES BABIES ARE GROWING!

As was mentioned previously, we have some new wonderful members of our family!!! Nate and Amber Voorhies are staying with us while they are caring for their " premie" twin girls that they are adopting!  Aryiah and Lilly are almost 2 weeks old and are growing.  This afternoon, they were finally able to get Vernon on the visitor list and Vernon went and helped Nate give the girls blessings.  I am so jealous that he got to see the babies!!!  I am also so excited that they were finally able to give them a blessing!  We are so excited for Nate and Amber!!!!

Amber is pumping to help feed the babies and they have also started "non-nutritional feedings" to help the little girls learn to nurse.  They have to be able nurse, maintain body heat independently, and eat more calories than they burn in a feeding session.  The girls are progressing quite well!  It is truly a blessing and a miracle.

 Here is Nate holding one of his little sweeties!!!

    I've cooked in that Beach family kitchen! And is their baby's name pronounced Ar-ee-ah, like my little one? Congrats to them. Love your year on the phone in review.
