Two Months Tomorrow! Where, oh where, does the time go? :(
Why we allow God to plan our family size.
( Allow? Allow God? Who am I to allow God? ) “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” Proverbs 3:5, 6 Sometimes people ask me what scripture we base our family size on. I think they expect me to quote verses like "Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.” - Psalm 127:3-5 Or to quote all the "Be fruitful and multiply" verses. Or they expect me to recant how, throughout the Bible, God considers children a blessing to be desired (in the stories of Abraham & Sarah... of Isaac & Rebecca... of Rachel & Leah... of Hannah) But for us it was not only what we found in scripture, but in looking at God'

i can't get your video to load, fyi. i don't know why, but it takes a long while and then gets stuck.
btw, the picture of your daughter catherine is beautiful, as well. i just didn't want to leave comments on three posts and look like a zealot :)
P, I saw something on your blog that has disappeared, so I didn't want to say anything there in case you decided you didn't want it public, and I wasn't sure you're reading here, or if you'll even see this... but I want you to know you're in my prayers. ((hugs))
