Asher is praying very hard for a little foster brother to share his room with. Man, I love that kid's heart. He can really drive me batty but, oh, that soft, moldable heart:
today we were out on the swingset and he said to me, "Mama, we ask God for what we want, right?"
"Yes, Ashy."
"Well, I will ask for my foster brother in my room.I really liked sharing my room with Baby Man."
"Ok, honey, but sometimes God says 'yes', sometimes he says, 'no', and sometimes He says, 'wait'. And it's always for our good."
Ok, Mom. But sometimes He DOES say, "OK, just OK, right?"
"Yes."
"Well I'm praying for that. That he'll say OK."
and there he goes, confident as ever, swinging away on his swing, enjoying the breeze that God obviously sent for his enjoyment, sucking on his Star Wars yogurt tube.
I heart that kid.

YOU have a beautiful family, and your little boy sounds like an angel. I especially love the look of pure contentment on your husbands face as he cradles your kiddos and smiles for your camera. that's true love, right there.
I love little Ashy man too! =) All of your kids have wonderful hearts!! Wonder where they get that...? ;)
Whatever happens it will be good, you are very capable of dealing with it all. your children are adorable. take care
cute picture! I love the confidence in children's prayers. My son's cat was missing a year and one day he decided to pray for it to come back, and guess what happened the next day? Yup, cat was back. It really, truly humbles me to see kid's pure, sweet faith. So simple. Sometimes I just make it harder than it needs to be!
I love the confidence of children. Praying for Finn.
