Tomorrow is Hayden's birthday.

I love this kid!


My littlest boy will be 11 years old. Where has the time gone? Wasn't it just yesterday that I was having that beautiful little boy? Time just goes too quickly. He has turned into one fantastic funny little man....FULL of personality! I am so proud to be his mama. I was just telling Andrew that as excited as I am about getting Miss Anne Pearce I still can't believe that I am going to be seperated from the rest of my family. People, I have a wonderful husband and 2 spectacular sons. Just thinking about being away from all of them for a month or more makes me want to cry. Wow. I just wish that they could all go with me.......We know that AP NEEDS me to come. The older she gets the more difficult it will be for her. I WANT to go, but it's just so hard. I am praying for strength and guidance as I prepare to leave part of my family to be with the other....

Happy Birthday, Hayden!! You are such a cutie! Lou, I will begin to pray that the Lord begin to prepare your heart and your family's heart for the separation. He will get you all through this difficult time and the reunion will be all the more sweeter for it! Hang in there, girl!

Love ya,
Amanda

You know we love that Hayden!!!
And, I also know that God's going to give you the perfect grace that you need to do the task that you have before you. It seems daunting now only b/c He hasn't provided all that grace to you to get through it yet. He's giving you grace day by day, enough for each day. When the time comes, you will be able to do what He's called you to do, and I'm so proud of you for doing it. He's going to bless your socks off, and I can't wait to see it!
lovealee!

ACK! Doesn't it always seem like you are being torn in two? Or three or four? I hear that's what motherhood is all about. Can't wait to actually find out for myself!

Maybe your stay in GC will not be so long... Praying that you can bring AP home quickly!

Go Hayden!! Happy birthday! :)

I can understand what you mean - it's kind of bittersweet. You just want the whole family together! But you will have an amazing time in Guatemala and will be home before you know it! :) I'm praying for you!!
