Poem

We wanted to share this poem with everyone, it is written by a friend of a friend especially for our boys:

A life begins at the touch of GOD’s hand, long before human kind can know or understand.Immediately a soul, in the tiniest of a shell
begins to flourish, in a water cocoon (9 months) they will dwell.
Expectations of parents upon learning the news,
a “perfect” little person(s) will emerge. Ultrasounds offering clues.
The key word here is perfect but Who makes this call?
Society tries to determine, however GOD knows more than us all.
The BIBLE teaches us that we are made in GOD’s image,
doesn’t single out a race, or a gender, country or religion.
I believe that GOD loves us all and sees the beauty in our souls.
We are all graced by HIS touch and our true hearts HE always knows.
Earthly trials bring us closer to understanding GOD’s love,
and rest assured he is always watching from Heaven above.
He holds us, he walks with us, and with patience he guides,
but painful journey’s sometimes await along life’s road on both sides.
It seems sometimes the “dark of night” bring the worst of our fears,
but the fear is replaced by “HOPE” when the morning light again appears.GOD is our true light and for these twins HE has a plan,as HIS shepherds, even as small as they are they are a blessing to “MAN”.Joshua and Caleb will rely on each other, joined together on this earth like God intends mankind to be joined with HIM beginning at our birth.We are not promised a given time of how long our earthly bodies will stay,but when we accept GOD’s loving grace our SOULS continue on to their final Eternal place.We can share in the joy, and the happiness of whatever time that GOD give us, and marvel in GOD’s blessings, and his path for man thru his BELOVED Son “ JESUS”.

Thank you, Betty. We will treasure it always.

We had a wonderful day today as a family. Matt worked this morning, but then he took a break and took us to lunch and we all just relaxed and had fun enjoying each other's company. After we got home it was back to work for Matt, but Billie and I plopped ourselves on the couch and cuddled and watched TV together for a while. We all needed some good quality time together, and it put us all three in wonderful moods. Billie spent last week in Johnson City with her Grandma and Grandpa Rosecrance and her cousin Chandler swimming in the lake and riding horses. She came home for two days and then went to spend two nights with her Grandma and Grandpa and her cousins Riley and Mallory swimming and going to movies. It is so nice to have her back home and with us again, we really missed her but we are glad she was able to spend time with her Grandparents and have some good summer fun, too. It is amazing to think they only have a little more than a month before school starts again!
