First of all - I was SO happy today because Harper had a great day in the nursery!! You have no idea how hard I have prayed today and it was so nice to go check on her twice and neither time was she crying or screaming. I'm so thankful for her sweet nursery workers who love on her! My parents were here today and got to go to church with us and see her in the nursery! And we went to lunch and she was so happy and did so good. OH it was just a great day!
My dad got home from India last night and we were so glad to have him home safe and sound. Tomorrow is his birthday and today is Grandparents day so we were glad to spend time with them! Harper is so blessed to have four wonderful grandparents in her life!
We were playing with her in her room and she started pulling up on me!!! She is just changing and growing so quickly these days!
I told ya'll yesterday about my "faith" dress and then I found out something SO amazing about it and I just have to share because I want to show you how God is at work even when you don't know it and feel like your prayers are not being answered.
But first I feel like I should share that YES - I love having a girl but I used to DREAM of having three boys. I would have been over the moon if we had had a boy. I don't want anyone to think I would have been unhappy with a boy. I dreamed of a boy playing football and I still secretly wish for a boy if we have another child. There is nothing sweeter than a little boy. It's just that I just always had this feeling I would have a daughter. I can't explain it but I just knew.
Anyway..........I think this is unbelievable. When I shared the story of the dress yesterday - the lady who I bought it from off of etsy left me a comment and then she e-mailed me to share something with me and it just gave me chills and made me cry. She has been reading my blog since Harper was born but had no idea she had one time made a dress for her until she saw it yesterday. And she remembered it because when she made it - she felt like God asked her to pray over the dress and to pray for the little girl who would be wearing it. She had no idea that at the the time there WAS no little girl yet or that the little girl would really need prayers at one point. See how God goes ahead and works in such amazing ways???
And finally - look who is starting to crawl!!!! When did she get so big???
So this is my 1000th post!!! WOW - that is a whole lot of rambling from me. So in honor of my 1000th post - I was wondering if you read my blog - I would love to hear from ALL of you - even the lurkers who have never commented - and I would love to hear one thing you are thankful for today! It would be great to start off this week with a LONG list of uplifting praises and I would love to hear from EVERYONE who is reading!!! Ya'll hear from me every day - now I'd like to hear from you!!!!

«Oldest ‹Older 1001 – 1200 of 1746 Newer› Newest»I enjoy reading your blog so much, however I rarely post. I am so thankful to be carrying my first child which is due in February. I'm praying for great news on Sept 22 when we go for our 20 week ultrasound.
Blessings from Kentucky!
Jessica
I love reading your blog! Harper is just precious!
I am so thankful for my family. I never realized what a gift it would be! Thanks for all you do and Roll Tide!
I am so thankful for my family. I never realized what a gift it would be! Thanks for all you do and Roll Tide!
My husband was in the Army and he did two tours in Iraq. He was there for over a year the second time around and we missed him so much while he was gone. He is home now and I love being together as a family. He is out of the Army too so we don't have to worry about another deployment. My daugther is 2 1/2 and this will be her first Christmas with her daddy and I can't wait.
I love reading your blog, you are such a positive person, and I find your encouragement refreshing.
I am a faithful lurker. :) I am thankful for my husband and children!
Last August, our first baby(Faith Marie)went to be with Jesus. My water broke at 5 months with no explanation. She was beautiful, perfect. This past year I have drawn closer to the Lord and with our tragic loss has come many gifts from Him. I discovered the blog world after we lost her which is how I came upon your blog. I am thankful for Jesus, for inspiring blogs like yours, and right now I am especially thankful that the Lord has put courage in my heart to try again!
I have never commented but I love your blog and watching harper grow. I have a baby boy born at the end of April (the first) so it's exciting to see what is ahead :)
I am so thankful for my family and how God has used them to change my life.

Hi Kelly - I've been lurking for about a month, but have yet to comment. I'm intrigued by your following! I went through minor infertility issues, but after 2 years had a beautiful daughter who is now 2 years old and has a little sister who is 7 months old! I am so thankful for all the blessings I have - my husband, my children, my family and friends. Thanks for blogging. Tricia
I read your blog every day! I've commented once or twice, and we exchanged emails about 2 years ago, I think? I just know you have enough comments and emails to read, so I don't want to add!!!
Today I'm thankful for my life. All aspects of it. God has certainly Blessed me overwhelmingly.
~Cheryl
Checking in from Houston! I am so thankful for this pregnancy that I am currently in and the gift of my 3 year old daugher!
Kelly-
Good morning from Michigan! I am so thankful this morning for my two precious children. After many years of infertility and waiting, each day when I see their precious faces, I feel like it's Christmas morning!
I love your blog, you are an amazing instrument of God's love! I would love to meet you someday!
Your biggest "northern" fan -
Kim
Hey, I'm writing in from Oklahoma!! I'm so thankful for my loving family and healthy daughter, Ava!
Hi! Love your blog- I've been reading since Harper was born and am just hooked : )
I love reading your blog. I think it is because you are just a normal girl living your life! Anyways...I am so thankful for my wonderful Savior Jesus Christ. I am not worthy of love like that. I am thankful for my husband of 5 years and my 2 beautiful healthy children. Thank you for sharing your beautiful little girl with us. Reading about her makes me remember when my little girl was her age. It wasn't that long ago...but it feels like forever sometimes. And the things you never thought you would forget...you sometimes forget. So I think it is great that you are documenting her life so well for her!
Hi Kelly! I started reading your blog when we were praying for Harper to become well. I just love your website and you're really an inspiration! Keep up the great work! Congratulations on 1,000 posts!
I stumbled on your blog a while back! I just love reading your blog and hearing your testimony. Amazing! :)
Kelly, your blog lifts my spirits every day! Harper is a precious girl, and I can tell that you are completely suited for motherhood. I am so thankful that I am now a mommy myself! My son Grant is 16 days old and absolutely lights up my world. I struggled with infertility and was so blessed to become pregnant last December. I had a wonderful pregnancy, a fast labor, and now have a beautiful son. God is GOOD!
I am thankful for the health and well being of my two chldren. We had a scary thing happen to us on Saturday and makes you appreciate your blessings so much more.
I read your blog all the time and live in Springdale but have never left a comment. I check multiple times a day to see what you and Harper are up to...so much fun!!!
i started reading your blog when harper was born and in the hospital. i have so many things to be thankful for but i am mostly thanksful for my loving husband and the 3 beautiful kids we have together!! you have done such an amazing job with harper and i think you are a wonderful momma!!
I am so thankful for a God who loves me IN SPITE of myself. He is so wonderful and gently nudges me when I really need a smack over the head.
He has blessed me beyond belief and I know that He has so much more in store for me too.
Thank you for sharing so much of yourself with so many. You are a blessing.
I just love your blog. You and your family are just precious!!! I am so thankful to have a wonderful husband and a healthy 6 year old daughter and a healthy 2 year old little boy. You just take for granted how lucky you are and I count my blessings every day! By the way we are huge Louisville fans and if you want to send Petrino back our way we'll gladly take him! You can cheer for us on Saturday too against UK we may need it HA!!
I am thankful for a wonderful husband. We have been married for over 3 years and each day I love him more than I did before. He is such a strong and amazing man and I am so proud to be his wife.
Oh Kelly! That story gave me chills! I am SO THANKFUL that God is at work in our lives and cares about all of the details all of the time. God is Good and He is Always Good and I am thankful for that.
Thank you for your blog! You are such a great combination of faith, funny, and a full of life attitude. My husband and I just recently moved to Louisville for his job. It's been a difficult transition to be away from all our family and friends but...
I am thankful that he has a good job in this economy. I am also thankful that I have family and friends that I am able to miss.
Happy 1000th post!
I am thankful that my path has (finally) led me to God and want you to know that your blog and those of other Christian women like Angie Smith and Jennifer Mckmama played a part in that, so I am thankful for you sharing your faith. God Bless!
Kelly I ran across your blog maybe 2 days after you had Harper- and have been reading it ever since! Your blog is such a testimony and source of constant encouragement!
I found out this morning that a former coworker's 2nd child was born Thursday w/ severe lung problems. We also found out this morning that he has greatly improved over the weekend. The parents are such a godly couple and the circumstances surrounding their little boy remind me so much of little Harpers. Hopefully their situation will be a source of nonstop praises until he is completely well!

I found your blog through Big Mama and I'm so glad I did. I love reading about you, Harper and Scott. You have a truly beautiful family.
You even inspried me to start my own blog. I'm not doing very good at the posting, but I'm trying.
Thanks for sharing your life with me.
Congrats on your 1000th post! Today I am thankful for the relaxing rain. Eventhough it is gloomy outside, it is peaceful inside listening to it. It also usually makes the naps a little longer for Emma-a plus!
Kelly, I am a newlywed and I am thankful for the way in which God brought my husband into my life. I was nearing the end of college and hadn't really dated anyone in four years - I was convinced I would be alone for the rest of my life and would cry at night (not wanting anyone to know how much it was really bothering me). On Christmas morning of my senior year, I finally gave it to God. I knew it was my last semester in college and I wanted to make it count with my awesome girlfriends. Two weeks later God brought my husband into my life. Whenever I stop to think about it, I'm in awe of the way things happen.
Thanks for continuing to put yourself out there on your blog and for hosting the blog hops. I've made some wonderful blog friends through your blog - it's been an incredible ride!!
I have been lurking for a while and recently became a follower. Love your blog because you seem so down to earth and so honest. And you are an example of how faith can get you through trials.
I am grateful for a Heavenly Father who loves me unconditionally and knows what my needs are and blesses me accordingly.
Thankful for forgiveness and mercy.
Okay, that's kind of funny... at the time I clicked on the comments to comment it said "1000 comments" and this is your 1000th post. Kinda funny. Anyway, I am thankful for my sweet daughter Lauren. I am thankful she is well and thankful that God has provided great doctors at ACH for her. I'm prayerful for her next laser treatment for her Port Wine Stain and thankful that I know God is going to fade it even more.
I love reading your blog. You are so real and genuine. Thanks for keeping it real. :)
I am thankful for my wonderful, loving family. I enjoy your blog, Kelly, thank you for sharing your heart!
I am so very thankful that after 5 years of infertility God has decided to bless us with twin girls due in December. God is so gracious!
I am a little over 14 weeks pregnant and am so thankful that God has given me the opportunity to become a mom and see my husband become a dad. I am also thankful that I have friends and family that pray for us daily. There is nothing like knowing you have people praying for you! Oh, and congrats on your 100th post!
I absolutely love your blog! I am a fellow Southern gal from Alabama currently living in Las Vegas so your blog is a daily dose of Southern that makes me feel a little closer to home. Today I am thankful for my family! Thanks for sharing your life with us!
I am thankful for my family! My husband, daughter and son! God is so good! I wasn't supposed to have children according to the doctors, but with prayer and intercession, I conceived without the use of fertility drugs. God is indeed good!
Prayers and blessings,
Rebecca
I'm a lurker from PA :) and just wanted to say that I am thankful that after many years of IF, I have 2 beautiful little boys to love. It was worth every poke, stick, procedure, surgery, etc. to have them in our lives.
God bless and thank you for sharing your family and especially that beautiful baby girl of yours with all of us!
Amy in PA
Great post! I am thankful for my family... they are wonderful!
xoxo-
Today I am most thankful for God preserving His written word and through it I receive such assurance and hope!
I admit it. I am a lurker! This is only the second EVER comment I have made on a 'stranger's' blog. My own little girl just turned 1 in August. We waited and prayed for her for nearly 2 1/2 years. I follow a variety of blogs, but enjoy hearing from other young moms. It seems to be a refreshing reminder that there are so many others who are seeking to love their families while being faithful to Jesus. Some days, like your recent Sunday, leave me feeling confident and giddy for this season. Then there are days, like my Sunday (Maren was NOT happy to be in the nursery!), that wear on my very last nerves. Those are the days when I spend whatever moment I can with the Lord, and especially enjoy hearing from women like yourself! I pray God will continue to bless your readers through another 1000 posts!
Hi Kelly! I don't think that I have ever commented on your blog but I read it every day and it's really a breathe of fresh air to see someone so happy, blessed, and full of faith!
I have to say I am very blessed and thankful to have such wonderful family and friends! Especially my mother , who provides me with constant reminders of how much God provides to us and how we should cherish every moment that we are given.
So on that note.. I would like to share the Sanders family motto that will also become my family motto when I marry one day... it is "Don't gripe, Don't complain, Thank God for everything!" My mother has this in her entry way and even though it's very simple it's a reminder to everyone that walks in that we should be thankful for everything!
love your blog:)
i am thankful for my God, family and friends! I have been blessed with a wonderful husband and a adorable baby boy......and one on the way!!!!
I am thankful for a God who loves me though I fail him every day...every minute.
I love your blog - it is a definite blessing to me!
I am thankful for my baby girl, Madison. She is turning one on Oct. 6 and it will be one year on Nov.11 that she has had a healthy heart. She is my amazing miracle baby...I know you know about miracle babies!
I love your blog and your sweet baby girl Harper!
~Shannon from Michigan
Hey Kelly -- I am an AR girl currently living in TX (but we get to move back to NWAR in 10 months -- woohooo!). I love your blog -- congrats on your 1000th post. I am so, so thankful for my sweet husband and so thankful that God brought us together at just the right time.
I've had a few weeks where everything seems to be going wrong, so this is a great exercise for me. It's good to be forced to look for the blessings in our lives.
I'm thankful for my kids' health, for our large, close knit extended family, for my husband's recent, well deserved promotion, for my best friend, for God's love and grace that makes all these things possible.
~Susan
Kelly, your blog always inspires me! I am so impressed at how grateful you are in your life, and how that spills over into all facets of your being. It makes a difference!
Today I am grateful for the work I have done in my home toward being more organized - nothing makes me feel quite like hauling out sacks of recycled paper and trash!
Glad you had a good trip to Gulf Shores! Thanks for sharing it with us.
I am so thankful for my son who is healthy and happy and in college. I am thankful for a wonderful family who loves and supports me. And most of all, I am thankful that my God loves me so very much.
Love reading your blog and your Harper is just so sweet! I am in Pa and have three wonderful kids two belly babys and one miracle from Africa and we are trying to get our son home from Haiti as soon as we can, he is special needs. Thanks again for a wonderful blog!! Katy
Hi, Kelly! This is Alexandra, from Portugal (a loooooong way from where you post). I've been reading you for quite a while and I have to say you come across as such a wonderful person and mom :) I'm also a blessed mom of two, the sweetest 4-year-old boy and a 3 month princess. So, as you can easily imagine, I am very, very grateful for them. They are my greatest joy and the LOVE we give each other is what I treasure the most.
Love, Alexandra
Since you twisted my arm and all :) ... I am thankful for the tomato plants in my back yard... they taste so yummy! I am thankful for my dear sweet husband who puts up with me and my crazy ideas... I am thankful for two sweet healthy girls who I get to spend my days with... I am thankful for a church who loves me even though they know me... I am thankful for my bedroom... its so relaxing to be in it and I LOVE it! I am so very thankful for the food in my cabinets... going to the grocery is harder and harder financially these days but we still have food in our cupboards! I am SO thankful for a relationship with Jesus Christ. He loved me so much He pursued a relationship with me... I will forever be in awe of that! I am thankful for the smell of coffee brewing in the morning... it makes up for the taste! I am so thankful for the opportunity to blog, without blogs I would be a crazy stressed out Momma with no friends at all because I'm always at home with two little ones and blogs give me relationship that have some resemblance to friendship and that keeps me sane! I am thankful for another day, to love, to live, to enjoy, to share....
Hi Kelly! i have commented and emailed before, I am the mom of 3 who has a little boy, Zachary, who was born on the same day as sweet Harper. Love your blog and thank you for sharing with us.
I stumbled across your blog when Mckmama had your pray for Harper button up on her site. I have been following ever since. I have a one year old baby girl and am praising God for her health today. I so enjoy reading your blog and love to see and hear all about your cute Harper!
I have been reading your blog for a few months now. I have a son thats the same age as Harper. Children are such a blessing. I am so thankful for my husband and son.
Hi Kelly and Harper! I've read your blog since Harper was born.
I'm so thankful for my sweet little boy Kohen. He is almost 11 months old :)
Honey, how are you ever going to read all of these??? lol I am so thankful for a healthy family, a job that I love, and a completed house!
Hi Kelly! I followed a link to your blog through one of the "Praying for Harper" buttons, and have been a faithful reader ever since! I love reading about your family and seeing all of the pictures!! Thanks so much for sharing your blog.

I commented before but forgot to say what I am thankful for. I am thankful for my 4 beautiful children and my husband. They are such a tremendous blessing to me. I'm a little farther down the road than you in Motherhood (my oldest is 16 and my youngest is 8) but I love reading about Harper and the stages she is going through.
I am a faithful reader (I tell my family about you like I know you) in Mozambique where we serve as Southern Baptist missionaries.
And I thought it was SO COOL that you met David Crowder. I also love the word "chawed". So funny.
I am thankful for the health of my family!
Yes, I am one of the daily lurkers. Your faithfulness to our God is truly a testimony to this world that our God is awesome.
It is so hard to just name one thing I am thankful for...my salvation, my family, my church, my job, running water, food to eat, etc....
Enjoy your blog and the praise you continually give to our wonderful savior, Jesus.
Teresa
Hello from Canada! Been reading your blog since just after Harper was born. She is such a blessing.
And since today is our first "official" day back at graduate school in my office I will say I am thankful to God for giving me brains and the ability to read, comprehend and write!
I have been reading your blog for a while, but I don't think I've ever commented... I love to see little Harper grow! I am so thankful for an amazing husband, family, and friends.
Kelly,
I'm a pretty new reader but I have quickly become a regular. I have a beautiful little girl, Olivia, that's 2 years old and a handsome little man, Ace, that's 4 months.
My daughter was born without a left hand, but she's absolutely beautiful and perfect in every way. We are now at a point in her life where other kids are starting to notice her difference - which can be really hard for me to see. Your blog and prayer list remind me daily to seek the positive even when things can be challenging.
Thank you for sharing your stories and inspiring me. Congrats on the 1000th post. :)
I am thankful for God's grace. And.. a wonderful husband of 4 years.
Thanks for sharing your life with us!
I am thankful for being blessed with 2 wonderful children and a loving husband and for those who lift me higher.
Thank you once again for being such an inspiration to so many.
Go, Harper, go. You are getting to be such a big girl.
I am thankful to have a job I enjoy in my home town in Mississippi. Growing up you feel that you are in a dead town and want to get out and move to a big city but leaving family and friends is hard. I am thankful that I found a wonderful husband who is a great Christian man, and we are able to make a living and stay right here in the south. Thanks for your blog to keep encouraging all the Southern Christian Ladies.
I found your blog long ago and started reading...I have commented a time or two but not a regular commenter. I am thankful that very recently I have started back down a path that I need to be on.
I'm a lurker - but your blog is great, and Miss Harper is a doll. (Random bit of trivia, but a dear friend of mine also has a little girl named Harper, and they were born on the SAME DAY. Isn't that wild??)
Anyway, I'm so thankful for God and his infinite wisdom. His answers are SO much better than my prayers!!
Have a blessed day!!
I have never left a message on you blog, but I really enjoy reading all of your post! I am thankful for my family - my wonderful husband and our baby on the way (I am 25 weeks pregnant and due Christmas Eve), for my parents, my in-laws, my sister and brother, my husbands sister and our huge extended family. I am also thankful for your blog, which reminds me how blessed and loved I am and how much I have in my life that I am thankful for! What a wonderful way to start my week - thanks Kelly!
I love to read your blog. I am thankful for my lord and saviour-Jesus Christ and my wonderful and loving husband and two children! Thanks be to God!
I enjoy reading your blog, particularly because Harper and my little one are so close in age. I have a little boy who is 9.5 months old. He is the joy of my life. God has used him to get me out of my over-thinking, too-serious tendencies and marvel in his creation and gift to me in Spencer. I am also so thankful for a husband who loves and serves the Lord both at work and at home. Lastly, I am overwhelmingly thankful that God has allowed me to stay home with my precious baby.
I read your blog pretty much every single day! Some days you have me crying, smiling, laughing... I never know!!! I am so thankful for my sweet daughter, Masyn, who will turn one in November and our little surprise due in December!!! Ohhh ya, and my husband... I am pretty thankful for him too!!! =)
Hi from Lubbock, TX! I have been lurking for awhile, just waiting for the right time to post my first comment :). Thank you so much for inviting us to do so today. I am thankful for my wonderful husband and blessed life that brings me so much joy everyday! Kelly, you are such an inspiration and Godly woman that I look up to so much! And your family is beautiful! I look forward to reading more.
I have been reading since right before or right after Harper was born. I was 7 months pregnant with my miracle boy. He was born on March 23 after years of secondary infertility and 2 miscarriages. TODAY I am so thankful that God is on His throne, that He hears our prayers, and answers them in the littlest details! Just like your story of the dress. It's awesome to serve such a MIGHTY God.
I have been reading your blog for a several months now, and feel that your blog is truly a blessing to all who read it. You are uplifting and inspiring in all of your posts. I am thankful today for my children, Jacob (7 mos born 2/2/09) and Brenna (2 born 3/19/09) and a husband that works hard so that I am able to stay home with our beautiful children. Thank you for your wonderful posts!
I've read your blog since December...it's one of my daily routines! I love your faith, your honesty, and your cuteness! Many blessings from the Texas Panhandle!
Ok, you asked for it so here I am. I've been reading your blog since Harper was born, but rarely comment. I'm thankful EVERYDAY for my wonderful husband and 3 beautiful children. However, recently I have become more and more thankful for your blog, which reminds me how to keep my faith at the forefront of everything I do. I've been thinking a lot about your experience with the pregnant teens and how you did things you weren't comfortable with because you felt God calling you to do them. You are a source of daily inspiration for me, so THANK YOU!!
I have been following your blog for a while now, and I too, am amazed and inspired by your love for the Lord!
I am thankful that I have such a wonderful husband who is walking this path of infertility with me, and holds my hand as we wait for a baby.
I dont think I have ever left a comment but read your blog often. I am a Arkansas blogger also! I am very thankful for the wonderful husband and 3 beautiful children that I have. And most importantly, God that loves each and every one of us!
Love reading your blog, Kelly! Harper is just precious! I'm so thankful for a God who loves us and whose mercies are new every morning!
I am a lurker. I read blogs, but don't blog myself. I am actually particular about the blogs I read. It has to be a blog that contributes to my personal growth as a Christ follower. I went through infertility for 11 almost 12 years. Eighteen months after we stopped we became parents through adoption. I relate to many things you write about having Harper in your life and the miracles along the way. We got to be in the room when our son was born. I even got to catch him when he came out and my husband got to cut the cord. Our birthmom is just amazing and we are grateful to her every minute of every day. I am over the top grateful for my son.
God is just amazing and never fails to redeem the shattered places in our lives. Thanks for allowing me into your life a bit through blogging. I am blessed.
Hi Kelly! I love reading your words of encouragement, you are such a light. Today I am thankful for my family- God has been so good to me through their love.
Two healthy girls and a loving husband!
I am thankful for the amazing example of Godly woman that I have had in my life to look to for guidance, to see what being a woman after God's own heart looks like.
Congrats on the 1000th post! I'm brand new to your blog and LOVE it! :) You are such an inspiration for me of what a Godly wife, mother, daughter, and friend should be!
I am thankful for GRACE. Where would we be without it?
I am thankful to be alive with my husband and our 3 little girls (5, 4 and 20 months). I had Pre-eclampsia all 3 times (we did not plan to have a 3rd because of my health issues during pregnancy, our 3rd one was a totally unplaned but blessed, oops).
I am a moderator for the Pre-E forums and in the past week we've had 3 mothers die of complications of Pre-E at childbirth. I feel so lucky & so blessed to be here with my family because other mothers are not so lucky. And I don't know why I was blessed and they weren't but I am so thankful to be here.
I love your blog & enjoy checking in with you daily! I was still quite single at 30 but longed to find that right person & have a family. I met my husband at 31.5, got married at 33 and we had our girls at 34, 35 & 38. There is hope single ladies!!!
The Barron's here from Austin, Texas. I love reading your blog. You are such an inspiration. I am so thankful for my son and husband. We are truly blessed.
I have read your blog since Harper was born, and it inspired me sveral months ago to start my own; so thank you. I am thankful for my wonderful husband who is so diligent to spiritually prepare me and our home for our daughter. He is simple amazing...
I guess I am now a former lurker :) I'm not sure how I found your blog, but I'm thankful I did. Its such an uplifting reminder to draw closer to the Lord in any situation -- good or bad. Thank you for sharing your life with us! Oh, and I'm crying over the story of Harper's dress :)
Wow! Over 1000 comments on your 1000th post! Congratulations! Though I rarely comment, your blog continues to be a blessing and encouragement in my life! Praising the Lord for your ministry!
I love the story of how God works in amazing ways! I am so glad you have your blessing. You touched my heart yesterday when you posted about going to the beach and praying.
I am one of the women on your prayer list waiting for a baby. I had a miscarriage in January. BUT I am thankful that I know who my Jesus is. I am thankful that even though I went through something so difficult He has never left my side. He has never changed. He never disappoints. He knows the plans! I am still holding onto my hope that one day I will have a blessing to hold.
Thank you for sharing your life, for being so encouraging, for being a witness for Jesus.
Love,
Tonya Bohannon

Jamie here from NC (originally from GA). I love reading your blog! My first born (girl) is just a little older than Harper.
I'm thankful that after 6 years of infertility my cousin is having a baby in April 2010!! We are so thrilled with this news!!!! My sister is also having her 2nd in April!!! Lots of babies coming!
Keep writing - I'll keep reading :)
I admire your honesty and your faith. I am so thankful for a good church family- for finally developing friends through church that I can LAUGH with.
I am thankful for my precious daughter who was singing Glory Revealed in the car this morning, she's 3 on Sept 25th.
Have a great week!
Beth, Tulsa, OK
Hey Kelly! This is from Ohio. I came to your blog through Boo Mama when you were about to have Harper and followed your blog since. Love your sweet baby girl and love reading your blog. Happy 1000th post. :)
blessings.
Hi Kelly,
I am thankful for my 2 beautiful girls and the ability to stay home with them. I always wanted to be a SAHM, but didn't think it would ever happen. Love to Harper!!
I'm de-lurking from So Cal :) I enjoy reading (and blogging about) the day to day stuff of other moms! I'm blessed with two wonderful little girls and a third baby on the way and today I'm choosing to be thankful for my morning sickness, taking it as an indication that this baby is growing strong and healthy!
I am thankful that my God already has everything planned out and will guide me through every change in life.
Hi Kelly!
I'm an occasional commenter, but I never miss a post!
Kelly, I always wanted a boy and God gave me a girl at 40! I am thankful for my little girl who is 9 now and homeschooling with me so we are together all the time.
Kelly,
My name is Amanda and I am from Texas! I started reading your blog when Harper was born and have gone back and read all of your previous posts too!! I absolutely love your blog and reading about such a strong woman of faith. Today I am thankful for my heavenly father who knows the plans he has for me!! Good plans!! :) Today I am just trusting in Him and holding onto His promises!!
Hi Kelly!
Today and always I am thankful for the blessing of my girlfriends, who are there to laugh with in good times, and a shoulder to cry on through the bad.
And thank you for the being such an exemplary person to those around you. And for always reminding me that I might not be single forever. Ha!
Hi Kelly! I've been following your blog for a month or two now and I love it! I am thankful for the times when I feel healthy. I'm thankful for my family, friends, and wonderful husband.
I am from Alabama and I have been reading your blog for almost a year now! I am thankful for my healthy baby girl who is exactly 3 months older than Harper! :) I love reading your blog. It is so uplifting!
Hi Kelly-- I've been reading your blog since Harper was born and love it. You are such an inspiration! Today I am grateful for my wonderful husband and our first year of marriage (yesterday was our anniversary). We have been very blessed and I feel so fortunate to have him in my life.
Hi Kelly! I don't think I've ever commented but have been reading for about 6 months now. I'm a 27 yr old single girl in Dallas. During this season of waiting I am thankful for the Lord's promises and that he loves me! Thanks for sharing your life with us!
I am thankful for my family and my health. And I'm thankful that I find inspiration every day from wonderful people in blogland (like you!)
Hello from Little Rock!! I love reading your blog...we know a lot of the same people. I am so thankful for my family, I have the most amazing husband and the sweetest son (he is almost 2 and was in the CVICU for 2 months when he was born) He is a miracle from God and I thank Him everyday for giving me this wonderful life!
I really look forward to reading your blog each day and seeing all the cute pictures of Harper. It's a bright spot in my day! Thanks for all the fun posts.
I am thankful summer is over and that Fall is upon us! Finally!
I LOVE your blog and sweet little Harper in all of her dresses!!!
I am thankful for my family. My two little boys who are getting big, Jace will turn 4 on Saturday, WOW! I am so thankful we just sold our house after almost 3 years!!! I am thankful that my husband like yours allows me to be a stay at home mom, what an awesome job :)

I have read your blog for a long time. While reading it, I realized that our husbands went to high school together and played side by side on the "O" line. So tell Scott that Michael Roberts wife reads your blog. And through me he has kept up with you guys and prayed for Harper. We go to all the AR football games too and have struggled with infertility also. I feel we have a lot in common. Today I am very thankful that after 3 pregnancy losses in a year, I will be 12 weeks tomorrow! We did have to have in-vitro to get pregnant, but God is so Good!

Today I am thankful for my daughter Randi and husband Jamie. On Friday of last week we had to put our beloved dog Cooper to sleep due to health issues and I am thankful that they have been able to help me get through this painful situation. I always turned to Cooper when I was sad or had a bad day so for them to be there for me has been a blessing. I am very thankful that God has given me both of them!
I am thankful to God for my husband and children. That simple sentence does not even begin to relate the bone deep thankfulness that resides in me for what God has given me.
Wow, four people commented before I could even finish reading the post! :)
I can't remember if I've ever commented. But here I am. I started reading when Harper was born and Boomama sent us over to you! :)
Today, I'm thankful for how God answers prayers and provides for us even when we're not sure how He can.
I'm so thankful that I know the Lord and that he's given me a beautiful baby boy!! Like you it took me 3 years to get him and then he was in the NICU for 6 weeks! So I'm extremely thankful for Ethan =)
I started reading your blog a short while before you got pregnant! Thanks for sharing with us! I am so thankful for my family!!
I am thankful for a healthy, happy 1 year old, a healthy pregnancy in its 3rd trimester, a wonderful husband, and healthy family members! God is so good to us!
Kelly,
Yours was the first blog I read, besides The LPM which I found yours from. I didn't even know what blogging was for sure.
I am so thankful for God who has saved me and set my feet on solid ground. I am so thankful for my husband and boys and g-babe (13 months old). God is so good!!!
Have a Blessed day,
Dawn in MO
Hi from Atlanta! Last Christmas I remember telling everyone that I wasn't sure that I would still have a job when I got back from Christmas vacation, but here we are almost 10 months later and I STILL have my job! That's what I'm thankful for today. Love your blog!
Bethany
I'm thankful for my parents who are wonderful Christian parents to their kids and kids-inlaw and grandparents to my 2 little girls!
I am thankful for my sister and my family!
I am thankful for my God who is worthy of all praise. Kelly, I got chills through my body when I read your story about Harper's dress. God is so good he is the God who formed us who cares about our every need and desire. I can't wait to get to heaven and hear a million stories like the story you shared. I am so thankful for the body of believers that encourage and pray for their brothers and sisters. I also thank God for the work he is doing in me. This has been such a time of God revealing and going deeper with me (something I have been desperately hungry for). God is a God of restoration, healing, and freedom. I am thankful for my wonderful husband and for my little boy (he's 7 months older than Harper to the day). I am thankful that I get to stay home with him.
Hi Kelly!
Happy 1000th post! I follow you in Columbus Ohio and have enjoyed watching Harper grow. I thank God for His mercies that are new every morning... GREAT is His faithfulness!!! (((hugs..)))
I found your blog from Angie Smith's when Harper was born. I grew up in Arkansas, so I think I was drawn back to your blog for that Arkansas connection.
I LOVE the "Show Us Your Life" series you're doing. My husband and I are in the process of adopting our first child (and are SO excited to be adopting!!), and I'm planning to go back through all the children's room posts to get ideas for decorating our son's room!
I am one of your many readers and I had left you a comment a few months back regarding breast feeding and pumps. I appreciate your email with the information.
I wanted to tell you what I am thankful for. I am thankful to God for our 7 wk old son. See, 5 yrs ago April 25th we lost twin sons to premature labor (21 1/2 wks). We had conceived them through fertility treatments. After loosing them we never thought that we would have a biological child of our own. This past September God gave me a dream that included my grandfather and my husband's aunt (both passed away in April but different years). Did you notice that we lost them all in the month of April - sons, grandfather and aunt? Anyway, my husband's aunt told me that they had a little boy for us and we needed to come get him ASAP. So, I woke up and asked God if this was true and if it is then please let it happen. Well, in November we became pregnant on our own (with Gods help)... And to make it even better we had a BOY!
Hudson was born July 25th - 4 days after my bday. All 3 of our sons were born on the 25th of the month. God is so good!!!
Thank you for listening,

I am so thankful for my beautiful baby girl, Abby and a wonderful husband who gave her to me. I am also thankful for your blog, I enjoy reading about Harper every single post. Congrats on 1000! Maybe 1 day I'll hit that mark!
Hi there! I'm Megan and I've been reading since Harper was born or maybe a little before. I'm thankful for my girls and their health!
I love your blog!
I'm so Thankful for My Friends and Family. After having 1 daughter who is now 6 1/2 my husband and I have had 3 losses in the last 3 yrs. our last loss was this pass Feb When I had an ectopic and they had to remove my right tube. I'm So thankful for my Friends and Family who have helped me thought this really hard time.
I am thankful that my husband and I survived our first year of marriage and love each other more than we did when we got married. We went through new jobs, no friends, losing his job, moving to a new city, and starting 2 new jobs all over again in just 12 months. It has been crazy, but wonderful because we did it together!
Reading from Oklahoma. I'm a day late but wanted to say that I'm so thankful for my family and my beautiful daughter. I have so much to be thankful for and God continues to bless me in little ways. Your blog is so inspiring and uplifting.
I'm so thankful for our 5 month-old daughter, Maggie, who was a blessing after 2 losses. The movement of prayer in our lives during our pregnancy with her was so amazing - I have never felt so enveloped in our Lord's love and grace than I did during our pregnancy.
Love reading your blog! I've been reading faithfully since Harper was born. I start my morning off with my coffee and Kelly's Blog! I love your inspiration. I am a mother of 2 and am so thankful and blessed for everything that I have! If you ever want any yummy Gourmet Candy Apples or other treats you can have them shipped from my business Lucetta's Legacy. You can google it!
Thanks for all that you do!
Love reading your blog. I am thankful for waking up this morning and being able to share another beautiful day with my two little girls and wonderful husband. Everyday that you wake up, breath and share with family is a great day!
Hello - I'm Jen and I'm a lurker. I love reading your blog and have prayed for you and Harper many times but never commented. I'm a mom to 4 - 2 boys that are 7 and 4, 2 girls that are 2 and 15 months. I homeschool and work as a postpartum nurse 1 day a week. I pray God's blessings on your family! =)
I love stories like that!! I am so thankful that God gave me Jason as my husband and that our first baby will soon be born around Christmas - best Christmas present ever!
Hi! I've been a follower of your blog for a month or two now and I love reading it! At the moment I'm in TX but will soon join my husband we've been married for a week now) in Baltimore.
I'm thankful for the incredible blessings God has given me! He gave me a loving father and grandmother to help raise me, he gave me a wonderful man to fall in love with, amazing friends and the BEST in-laws ever! among other things.
Thankful for the ability for our family to love, forgive, and hope in both joyous and difficult times... GOD is an awesome GOD.
I am thankful for my husband and that we both have jobs.
Harper is getting so big! She is a week younger than my daughter Claire, and I can remember reading your blog for the first time the day Harper was born and crying and praying for your family and just being so thankful for my daughters. I am thankful everyday for my wonderful family, but today I am especially thankful for my mother who did an Emmaus Walk this weekend and worked on her relationship with Christ.
I have been reading your blog for a few months and look forward to each new post! I am a North Carolina girl that is SO thankful for my two precious daughters and wonderful husband. We have been blessed with health and happiness and I try not to take that for granted! Your fatih inspires me. Thanks for sharing your blog with us! Harper is just adorable.
Today I am thankful for my 2 boys ages 2 and 5. My 5 year old is home sick and I am so happy to be a stay at home mom and to take care of him all day.
I have followed your blog for quite a while now. I have a little girl that was born in Feb. so she and Harper are so close in age. I am so thankful for my precious family...my Godly husband and three amazing kids! Thanks for your time spent posting and for keeping us updated every day with Sweet Harper! She is an angel (and her style is right up my alley!) My Payton has worn a bow since day one...in fact, I tell her our motto is "Who cares what your wearin'...you're never fully dressed without a bow!"
I read every post! I love to hear about you, Harper, your family, and your faith. That dress is so sweet, so I'd love to learn about the lady that made it. We wait to find out on Wednesday if our attempt at IVF with our surrogate worked. After some off/on bleeding this past week, we are hopeful but cautious. I will update you so that you may update the prayer blog - hopefully with a praise!
I started reading your blog when Harper was a couple of days old and in the hospital. I prayed for your family and was delighted when you got to bring her home healthy!!! Since then I've been hooked. You've got great southern style, a cute family and you love Jesus. Thank you for letting all of us into your life!
I started reading your blog when Harper was born. I have a son 5 wks older than Harper. I enjoy reading your blog and watching Harper grow! Isn't it fun to see how much they change from day to day?
My thankfulness for today is receiving some new client work! Other than that I'm thankful for God's grace.
I just started following your blog, but it is such a joy to read and have read all of your previous posts!
I am thankful for my grandma, who I call "Mam." I got a frightening text message from my sister last week saying our grandma was in the hospital. "Mam" is a very healthy woman with no health problems and attends her small country church every Sunday.
She was in the hosptial for 2 nights as they were running tests on her. She had been having "dizzy spells" for a while and they believed this time she had a mini-stroke. The doctor said there was no damage and she was released to go home. She was given medication for high blood pressure and will be watched for a while. I prayed so hard and shed so many tears while we were unsure of what was going on.
I thank God for answering my prayers and sending her home. I pray that he continues to give her strength so she can be back to her full potential, although she is one lady who deserves taking as many days as she needs to just rest!
Reading the stories of you and your family allowed me to trust that everything would be ok!
Thank you Kelly!
Hey there! I have to say that I am so thankful to have a healthy 8 week old baby girl and each week God amazes me of another week to stay at home with her- I am a teacher that is supposed to go back but my dr keeps changing my appt... I really just think it is God working in mysterious ways and providing me with this incredible bonding time with my precious baby girl!
PS- Harper is such a precious miracle from God- she is tooo cute for words!!
I am thankful for your blog, one of several Christian gals whose blog I regularly read because, well, they warm my heart, encourage my soul, remind me of my 4 children(now 13-29 years old) in days gone by, and inspire me to grow and stretch in my walk with Jesus every single day!
Kelly-
I am from your neck of the woods in Rogers, Arkansas. I LOVE your blog and just love your sweet southern ways about you. Today I am overcome with joy and thankfulness for my healthy baby girl who is 2 years old and another healthy baby girl due in December. I am very fortunate to be able to stay home as well and it is such a beautiful time in our lives. I just soak it up each day. Would love to meet you in real life sometime.
Hugs,
Robin Juels Most
Also, please put the link up for that sweet lady's etsy site. She deserves some business. That dress and embroidery is precious!
hello. lurker beware. thank you for your continued faith and testimony telling. it inspires me that there is this growing forum for women to talk about their spirituality. thank you for blogging. and no, it doesn't sound weird to "knew" about your daughter before she came here. i sometimes ponder and wonder if these sweet spirits had not already chosen us before we came here and were simply biding their time until we were ready to welcome them into our homes and hearts. best wishes, becky
I'm a lurker!!! but I read your blog faithfully! I am so thankful for the husband and little boy God blessed me with. Hopefully more children are in our future, but I'm so blessed with the one he's given me!
Hey Kelly,
I've been a lurker since Harper was born. I was a first time mom at 40. Now my little girl is 5 and just started kindergarten.
I read and smile at all your motherhood posts. It's like reliving Emily's baby days again- especially the I'm going to make all the baby food. I made maybe two meals.
You're a great mom.
I am thankful for all the opportunities my parents have given me. They helped me with school this year in a very big way. They were not planning on doing what they did, but I am so grateful for their help! I am excited to see them for family day this weekend. Harper's little dress with the pink bows is absolutely adorable by the way!
I'm checking in from Kentucky. I am thanking God that we were able to move up our son's Dr. Appt. from Jan 2010 to NEXT WEEK to be seen for a suspicious mole. He's only 15, and we could really use a prayer for healing.
Harper is just so precious. I can't believe she is crawling.. how fun!
Hi Kelly,
I don't even remember how I came to your blog, I think it was to pray for sweet Harper, but now I frequent often and have even talked about you with other friends who "blog stalk" as we call it. (Our husbands think we are nuts) Riches blessings on you guys! Amy http://futuremrsknight.blogspot.com/
I am thankful for my four healthy children and wonderful husband of ten years. God is so faithful and loving in the BIG things and in the little things of every day life. LOVE your blog, adorable pictures of Harper, and uplifting and encouraging words. Keep up the great blogging, my friend =)
I love reading your blog. I first began reading it while I was still dealing with infertility. I am very thankful for my wonderful family & my healthy little boy who was born July 31st of this year after over 2 years of trying. Also, it is such a blessing that last year the day before Thanksgiving (Exactly 16 months since we had started trying) we found out we were expecting. Perfect timing!
Kelly - Love reading your blog and all about precious Harper. You have truly made my faith come back alive. I am so thankful for my beautiful baby boy, Cohen, born August 11, 2009 and how much he is loved by those who surround him. Please think of us tomorrow as we see a cardiologist for a prominent heart murmur he is having.
Thankful for a full life and a job I love!
I am so thankful for my gorgeous and loving husband and my 4 beautiful and healthy children.
I am so thankful for my husband and my children! My husband works so hard so that our children can be raised at home. He is such a wonderful man. I am also unbelievably grateful for the health of my girls. My heart aches for parents of sick children. I can't even imagine what that must be like.
I have been reading since Harper was born - can't even remember how I found you. And now, I talk about you like you are my best friend, it's like - "Kelly did this ...." "Harper had on the cutest dress," and so on. My friends are like "Who are Kelly and Harper?" And now they read your blog as well. You will never know how many people you and your previous daughter have touched.
Keep writing!!
Lurker :) I stumbled upon your blog from a friends and I love reading it! Your daughter is so beautiful! I have to admit I am a bow obsessed mom, I love to see what Harper is dressed in and get ideas from her styles for my daughter!! :)
I am so thankful for first and foremost my children! I have a 2 year old and a 3 month old! They and my husband are my everything! And..I am thankful for your blog..I love your sweet Southern self! I laugh and cry reading your blog! One thing that changed me thru your blog is how you talk about God working through you, He really does Kelly. It's helped me a lot to relate more, now I think more about how He can work through me too!
Thanks and Happy 1,000th!

Hi Kelly,
Long time reader, first time commenter. Congrats on the 1000th post!! I'm thankful for my three children 6, 4 & 3 months old. Also to my wonderful husband who adopted my biological children when they were only 2 & 1 years old, he is definitely an answer to prayer & an amazing father to all three of our kids.

I am just overflowing with thankfulness, for both of my parents being healed from cancer, for my precious family and miracle babies, and for a God who loves, saves, and leads.
I love the dress story! I have some amazing prayer coincidences too that are such faith builders! Congrats on hitting 1000, I love reading about your life. Blessings

I'm thankful for my incredible little family - my husband who spoils me rotten, and my daughter who keeps me on my toes and makes my heart smile with pride every single day.

Came across your blog a while back...I am an overseas missionary and and enjoy the fellowship with other Christian women that blogs provide. Granted it's not my ideal (face to face would obviously be better!) but it helps fill a void on lonely days. Thanks so much!
I read your blog daily and just LOVE it! I live in Houston, TX and work at a school. I am so thankful for my wonderful friends, a great Mom, a God who has always pursued me =, and a boyfriend who's blessed me incredibly. I can't wait to see what God continues to do! Thanks for sharing your life with us :)
I am thankful for God's grace... I was baptized yesterday (Sunday) and so many of my friends and family were able to be there to celebrate such an important day in my life. God has truly blessed me and I am thankful for His love each and everyday.
Hi there from SW Missouri. I'm thankful for my family and our health, which is easily taken for granted. I love reading your blog- it's how I start my morning and I love your caring and positive sprit. Thanks Kelly!!
I am thankful for my sweet, healthy baby boy who is playing on his toy giraffe right now!!! He is the best thing that has ever happened to me and I thank God every day for him! :)I am positive you understand! :)
Congrats on your 1,000 post!!!
I absolutely LOVE reading your blog! Take care and little Harper is too, too cute!!!
I have been following your blog for the past year and I love reading your blog. I admire your faith in the Lord. I also love when seeing pictures of Miss Harper, they always bring a smile to my face. She is the cutiest little girl.
Today I am thankful for my husband, my family and my friends. I am so thankful that God has blessed me with such wonderful people.
I love your blog! I have been reading since before Harper was even born. I am thankful for each day that I have to spend with my wonderful family and friends. More than anything, I am thankful for my beautiful daughter who has shown me how to love in a way that I never knew before.
Hi Kelly,
I started reading your blog a little before you found out you were pregnant w/ Harper.
I am thankful for my marriage and my husband, he's my best friend.
Thank you!
Hey Kelly Love your blog-I am thankful for my wonderful husband of two years. He is so great and loves me so much even when I don't deserve it. I am also so thankful that God is so gracious and loves us no matter what!
I am Sandi from Texas and I read your blog along with everyone else, everyday! I am thankful for my wonderful family and friends. I am also very thankful for the wonderful husband that I have and get to spend each day with! I am also very thankful that God is such a strong part of our lives and he has blessed us in so many ways!
Have a great week!
Sandi
I am thankful for my wonderful husband.
Congratulations on your 1000th post!! I haven't been reading for a very long time, but I found your blog through a friend's blog and added you to my list. Now I find myself really looking forward to your new posts. Though I'm not religious myself, I find your faith inspiring. You have a beautiful family, and I hope you continue to share with us for another 1000 posts! Have a wonderful day!
That story is JUST amazing!! Love the way the Lord works! :) Thanks for sharing!
I am so very thankful for my health and to be surrounded by so many people who I love and love me in return!
I have been following your blog since Harper was born. I love reading your posts, everyday! I am so thankful for my little boy and hope that God gives me house full of them!
Hi Kelly! I am thankful for so many things. I am thankful for your blog and the way you are a beacon of God's light. You inspire me!
Susan in Indiana
Kelly, thank you for your encouragement to me & other new moms. I just love how you're real and how much you love the Lord. What a blessing. I have a 4 month old little boy and I just love to see what's ahead with my son by way of Harper. Have a wonderful Monday!
What an amazing story!!! My praise today is similar to it. Years ago I was livign a life I shouldn't have been (and I knew it full well). I had a very sweet friend that stuck by be and was not afraid to constantly remind me of God's love...and also let me know that I was not living in His will. For my 23rd birthday, she gave me a framed promise. A promise that she would pray for my future husband and she did for years. When I returned to God's will for me and met my husband years later, I learned that he had been depressed and suicidal around the time that my friend started praying for him! At that time he decided to go to a Christian College and through that college, he changed his life, met the friend that introduced us...I believe whole heartedly that my friend's prayers for him made a huge difference. Amen for prayer!!!
Hey Kelly! I'm Lindsey from Nashville. I have been reading your blog since Harper was sick. A friend told me about your blog and I have been keeping up with it ever since. Yes I am a lurker! HA! I have a 3 month old son James that I am so thankful for. But I am especially thankful that I get to stay at home with him. Big thanks to my hubby! I love reading your blog, you are so inspiring. When I first had James it was really hard those first 6 weeks and I went on your blog and read some of your posts about having hard days with Harper and it made me feel like I wasn't alone, so thank you!
I have been a reader for about a year and a half and have prayed with you through your pregnancy after after Harper's birth! It is great to have other Christian women in the "blog world" to be inspired and encouraged by!!!
One thing that I am so grateful for is that my family - hubby, two daughters (9 & 7) and myself are all saved by the Grace of God! I praise Him that we are complete in Jesus!!!
Hi Kelly! I started reading your blog in those first couple of day's of Harper's hospital stay. (In the "Pink Palace". ;))I prayed for her everyday she was there, and I'm SO glad to see how big and happy she is! And yes you are right, the Lord does work in very mysterious ways. Just when I think we as a family are out of options & I'm not sure what will happen or how we'll get through to the next month, he always steps in and comes through for us. "God bless the broken road's" right?!? =)
I'm VERY thankful for a wonderful husband,(& I'm also very blessed to have him be my BEST friend) 2 happy, healthy little boy's. My family, My home, all the blessing we receive... I could just go on and on. =) Congrats on 1000!
I have been a reader several months, but have never posted. I have had two miscarriages and pray daily that God will someday give me a baby - you have no idea how uplifting your posts have been! Thank you!
Kelly- I love reading your blog and keeping up with Harper because Harper and my grandson Caden could be twins! It's so hilarious when I see pics of Harper and my daughter and I will comment on how much they look alike. He was born on January 1st so they are almost the same age and he is what I am so thankful for today. Being a grandmother is awesome!
this weekend I was so thankful for my in laws.. They are always ready to help whenenver we need it and this weekend they came to watch Alex while I shot a wedding and had another photo shoot. Not only do they watch Alex but my mother in law painted the new baby room and started on my daughters room.. SO THANKFUL!
Hi Kelly! I really enjoy reading your blog. It's funny because our mom's have become blog buddies from reading your blog. My mom is Becky from "Looking Through the Eyes of Luv". You seem like such a sweet person and someone I would be friends with in "real life". Today I am so thankful and humbled by God entrusting my three precious little boys to me. He is good!
