I was blessed to become an auntie again on Monday, February 8th at 4:37pm. Christopher "Cohen" Ballem came into the world with beautiful bright eyes and melted everyone's hearts! He weighed 6lbs. 4 oz. and was 19 inches long. I am so in awe of how wonderful babies are!! The miracle of their births is something only God can fully understand! I was incredibly blessed to be at the hospital the entire day with them, and play with Cohen's 3 year-old brother Kayson during the actual birth.
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
We found out on December 30th that we are expecting a baby! We have seen our little bambino at two ultrasounds, and he/she is healthy and beautiful (well, beautiful for a lil bean)! ;) Our due date is September 6th (Labor Day).
I get to wake up each day next to my very best friend Chet, who I married on June 6, 2008.
We were blessed with our firstborn child on August 28, 2010. Holden Newell had already gone to be with Jesus when he was born, but his life has changed us forever.
Our second sweet little blessing, Grey Danelle, arrived on March 22, 2012 (World Water Day).
We were given the extreme honor of being parents to our third, precious Rose Catherine through the gift of adoption, born on December 23, 2013.
Our daughters have captured our hearts in every way, and both are such testaments of the Lord's goodness to us. I was created and put on this earth to be their Mommy, and through that I daily realize how blessed beyond measure I am.
This is our family journal of our ordinary life that is blessed in an extraordinary way.
