thanks!

i just wanted to spend a minute or two thanking everyone for their sweet comments, both on this blog and elsewhere, about the recent addition to our family! we wanted everyone to rejoice with us as we were celebrating what we see as a true blessing...but so often times people are blinded by age, financial situations, and other situations to celebrate and instead criticize. we thought that people may see us as irresponsible when we really are just two people that have so much love for harper and calvary that we couldn't imagine not sharing that love with more children. our lives are so much richer with their laughter and silliness (and even tears and grumpiness). i am far from the perfect mom; i question if i was too strict, too lenient, not spending enough quality attention, spending too much, feeding them the wrong food, letting them watch too many movies, the list could go on and on...but every night i pray that God will make me a better mother the next day and that my children will grow up strong in this world and steadfast in the ways of the Lord and being men and women of integrity...
i thought sleeping through the night and teething would be the hardest struggle with this early, formative years...
anyway, thanks for the continued support and sweet love for our family! we are learning and growing in love every day!
