I had a wonderful trip to Florida. I flew down on Wednesday and went fishing with my mom on Thursday. We caught a number of fish. I felt bad for Kurt because every time we get to Florida and he has the opportunity to fish, he never gets anything! I stayed out in the sun way too long and am currently "shedding". On Friday morning, mom and I went shopping (as usual). It was awesome to spend some quality time with her. I loved having her all to myself even though it was weird to be in Florida without the boys. We met up with Kim for lunch on Friday and I had to hold back the tears. She is absolutely adorable pregnant. We are soooo happy for Kim and James. This has been a long journey and we are so grateful to see God answers prayers.
Kim and I went shopping Friday afternoon and hit the outlets (Coach - thank you Kurt). That evening we met up with some friends (Amber is on the left in the picture). And Saturday was the baby shower. It was breathtaking seeing all the support that Kim and James have. They had so many travel a long way just to come to the shower. She received SOOO much stuff!
Today, the boys and I have to wonderful privilege in watching Isaac (our not-so-little boy from Africa). He's doing great. I took them to the John Deere store so Isaac could ride on a tractor. He got to see the store via wagon! I just laid them all down about an hour ago. During our nap routine, Connor prayed and asked if Isaac could pray. Isaac folding his hands and repeated after me. It brought tears to my eyes and reminded me of the amazing and faithful Lord that we have. Ever child is a gift from God and we are blessed to be entrusted with them.
And we have 3 new additions to the Steensma Family.
On Monday, we added fish to our pond:
Daisy, Lily, and Minnie
I will update the website in a few days and let you know how Kaden's 2nd birthday went (tomorrow).
