So cute your little one in the swimsuits...makes me long for summer!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing pieces of your world with us.

Makes no sense, but I am not going to let it deter me from loving my blog buddies, just as you said I have found so many kindred souls. My life is so much richer knowig them in cyber world. <BR/>Maggie is hilarious with all those suits on :):) Brings a big smile over here. I can't wait to see some pics of her swimming this summer! You will probably never get them off of her then.<BR/><BR/>Love seeing all of your blessings and hearing that all is well. <BR/>Love the slide show! I posted about my personal story of being adopted last week, and yes all of the things on your list are so true.<BR/>Thanks for all the posts!

LOL Seriously though, since finding your blog, I check in often, but don't often get a chance to comment. Maggie is on the top of my prayer list and is a constant reminder to me to check your blog for progress - I praise God for all the hurdles she is overcoming and the many more she will overcome. <BR/>As for the ugly comments, it is truly sad that there are some out there who live for hurting others. Having a public blog, we are all open to it and will more than likely experience it - all I can say is God is a big ole God and you just don't mess with His kids. :O)Janeen Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05674245354981943286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8208240036939788595.post-69711526141956073322008-02-13T00:08:00.000-05:002008-02-13T00:08:00.000-05:00So nice to read an update on your beautiful family...So nice to read an update on your beautiful family.

I am praying for them too!!!<BR/><BR/>love,<BR/>nicole<BR/><BR/>Name: Joseph Origin: Hebrew <BR/>Meaning: God shall add (another son)<BR/><BR/>"In the Old Testament Joseph is the eleventh son of Jacob. Because he was the favorite of his father, his older brothers sent him to Egypt and told their father that he had died. In Egypt, Joseph became an advisor to the pharaoh, and was eventually reconciled with his brothers when they came to Egypt during a famine." <BR/>... are you thinking of adopting him from Africa by any chance? (just thought of it with the story about egypt.)<BR/><BR/>"The name Abigail comes from the Hebrew origin. In Hebrew The meaning of the name Abigail is: Father rejoiced, or father's joy. Gives joy."nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03091682364567116690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8208240036939788595.post-40128245580665301712008-02-12T21:41:00.000-05:002008-02-12T21:41:00.000-05:00Sorry for the ditto posts...not sure how that happ...Sorry for the ditto posts...not sure how that happened:(<BR/><BR/>This is why my family has NO blog...I'm pretty clueless when it comes to the "puter"....<BR/><BR/>Diane....again!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8208240036939788595.post-63973521273140964362008-02-12T21:35:00.001-05:002008-02-12T21:35:00.001-05:00Hello Gwen,Sounds like things are settling in arou...Hello Gwen,<BR/><BR/>Sounds like things are settling in around your home and I am hoping with each day that your family continues to gain beautiful strength!!
