These three love to read!
It makes me so happy.
This one always greets me at the door when I come in early in the morning after cleaning or working out. She's such a love bug, and I adore her.
She also doubles as a princess! ;)
That following Wednesday evening, we had a commissioning service for the Neelys in the Loft. Of course, our six kids were little crazies, and we had some amazing youth to help. :)
Brandon put together a precious service for our friends, and I cried from before it started until after it was over. It was such a precious time. The Holy Spirit was tangible as our students prayed over their youth pastor and his family that had invested so much in them. They laughed and cried and shared heartfelt words.
Each section of the youth took turns praying over the Neelys. It was precious.
So sweet.
Brandon sang several songs, but this one was "10,000 Reasons," which was played at Hudson's memorial service, and it was so special.
Friends!
A precious compilation of the evening. It really was special.
The next day, the littles and I got to keep the Neely kids for awhile! This little guy just makes me so happy!
He is SO expressive, and he has been so so flexible.
Felicity really, really wanted to hold him!
Look how sweet! She's always asking me for a baby, but then I remind her that babies grow up and become Brandt! ;) She usually says, "Oh, okay." ;)
Brandt and Wesley are two peas in a pod! They were having a snack and watching a show!
I played with this sweet baby!
...and Felicity loved "watching" Baby "Siah!"
I had put him down for a nap in his pack n play in my room, but then he woke up about 30 minutes into his nap. I could tell that he was still sleepy, so I sat in the rocker with him, and he was out in about 1 minute. So, I put him back in his pack n play, and he slept another 20 minutes. Sweetest boy!
I ended that super emotional week with my 12th colonoscopy! This one was rough. I had to do THREE DAYS of prep. This proved especially difficult with three kids and life, and it was just rough. I was so thankful that Brandon was with me. He's been to all of them--even when we were dating!
The results of this colonoscopy were that there was more inflammation than expected. They wanted me to begin combination therapy at that point, but I haven't yet, as the side effects are super yucky. So, I'm just trying to eat right and exercise. So far, so good. :)
That was a hard week, but there is a time for everything under the sun.
More fun coming! :)
