"Melody is 8 months old now and we are loving watching her personality develop! She is so sweet, observant, and playful. She still loves to be a part of things, and does not like to take breaks to nap in the middle of all the fun. She also loves music! (Which is a relief because we named her Melody!) Right now her favorite is Rockin' Robin by Bobby Day. She is also obsessed with her older brother, Sawyer. He can do almost anything and she will immediately laugh, smile, and clap her hands.
I heard a familiar song today while I was out shopping with both of the kids... And it made me catch my breath. The chorus of the song talks about the beauty of a "crowded table", and I remembered playing this song on repeat as I prayed for our family to grow after so much loss. Something about the image of a big family crowding around and sharing a meal together, and making that our legacy just summed up the cry of my heart. Today I heard that song in the store and smiled at my baby girl in the stroller... My heart full. This girl is such a blessing to us, and I'm so glad we've been given the opportunity to grow our family through embryo adoption. The Lord is so so good. He takes our pain and makes it beautiful. Thank you doesn't even begin to cover it."
