Looking Back to a Family Visit

What a year it has been, we've definitely had our ups and downs. 

My most recent pregnancy had it's downs then praise to the Lord, He healed my baby and made everything beautiful.

The winds were changing in many areas right when Elijah was due to be born, and amidst an exciting birth story, Nathan received news just two weeks after Eli was born that he needed to find a new job.  Praise the Lord, He provided a new job for Nathan without so much as a day missed.

For a couple weeks, since Elijah was born two weeks early, we had time to adjust to becoming a family of 6.

Then the first visitors came at the beginning of April!  We were so excited to have Nathan's mom, his sister Misty and her husband Sean and their little guy Amos come and stay with us for a week to meet Elijah and help out. 

My kids were so excited to have one of their cousins come to their own home and play. 

Everyone had such a wonderful week together and it was such a blessing to have the extra hands to help, and a friend to play with my older kids.
