Fewins Family Pics

What a blessing to finally be a family of four! Our lives are forever changed.
What a blessing to have a best friend and photographer all-in-one to help capture the memories!

Check out our family pics that Sarah took last night. I think she did a fabulous job. If you live in the area and might want to try her out for your family pics check out her photography blog by going to their family website... http://www.lifeasabaker.blogspot.com/ and clicking on the photography blog (makes sense right?).

A Most Precious Treasure,...Please Pray!

This post is for a special couple in Colorado; "friends" I've never met, a sister/brother in the Lord, and fellow adoptive parents. But I beg the rest of you to read, be moved and pray for this family.
I have the incredible opportunity of being a part of blessing this mommy and daddy with pics/video of their precious son who is miles away from them in body, but closer than their next breath in their hearts. (I was blessed beyond measure to get to hold him and love on him, on behalf of his mommy and daddy, while we were in Taiwan.)
Having experienced both the addition of a biological child and an adopted child to our family, I can tell you that both scenarios are full of excitement, fear, joy, and anticipation. But I must say, there is something distinctly different about adoption. With pregnancy, the biological child is with you from the moment of conception (even before you know they exist), with adoption you deal with knowing your child has been born and is spending day after day away from your loving arms. God's grace is always sufficient, but the longing to hold that child and experience their first moments can overwhelm even the most trusting heart.
So I ask you to STOP, and PRAY for this family. They have experienced delay after delay in bringing their precious son home. They need a miracle. Please pray that the "formalities" will be expedited and that their son will be home, in their arms, SOON!

Here's the links to the 4 very short clips of precious Micah:

Sweetest Sibling Snapshots

Ok...I have now spent more time than I care to admit trying to figure out how to provide you all with some long awaited pics in a slideshow...obviously, that's not happening today. (Someone should feel sorry for me and teach me how!).

In the meantime, here's at least a few pics of my precious children playing together!

Little Lessons

Wow! Being a mother to two 2-yr-olds is wonderful, challenging, busy, difficult, fabulous, and above all, a blessing. So far, every day is different. We are still in the adjustment period. But, in time, I know that many of the difficulties we are now facing will be only memories. This morning we went for a walk (a great opportunity for prayer time). As I was praying my earnest request to God was that He would help me see what it is I am supposed to be learning in every situation and that He would help me to learn it!
And so I was reminded of our Pastor's message Sunday morning. Among other things he spoke of a heart that reaches the heart of God. I am reminded by these precious children today, that a heart of a child simply asks for help when needed. (Now that asking may not always include a please and may be in the form of whine, cry or desperate shriek...but the message is clear!) And so, friends, may we always remember to simply ask God for help when we need it!
I hope you enjoy this video of Faith that our pastor used Sunday morning as an object lesson for his message....
