8 months

First, thank you so much for all of your prayers and sweet comments for our families over the past few weeks. It's been tough but with God's help we have made it through. We know He is working and we're eager to see what He has in store for all of us.

It has been a beautiful weekend here. A little chilly in the mornings but warming up to the 80s by the afternoon. I really am not ready for cold weather so this is great! Yesterday we participated in the American Heart Society's Heart Walk in honor of Tommy. It was a lot of fun and we were so thankful to have some of our family and friends there to support us. Here was the poster we were asked to make in honor of Tommy. They liked it so much, the director of the event asked us if she could keep it for a few days. The top left picture of him (I know it's hard to see) was at the hospital for his first surgery. This was the first year we participated and I'm glad we did.

Last night we went to the movies to see "Life as we know it." It is a really cute movie. It is a bit of a tear jerker but was a good movie to see.

Today marks our 8th month of officially waiting. It's hard to believe we started this whole process 16 months ago. While some days are hard, most have been pretty easy and I'm so thankful for that. Of course our arms and our hearts long to have a baby in our home but we know that God will provide when the timing is right. We know that He's using this time to mold us and He's preparing that perfect child for us. We also know that with each day we wait, we are one day closer to bringing our baby home.

Today we also met my sister and her fiance down at the beach house to take their engagement pictures. They are getting married in May. Here's the one that I think is the best :)
Here's one of Tommy and I.

And one last one of my sister, my mom, and I.
