A little of This a little of That, I need a Kleenex

Yip, another dish.
She pulled it out of the 'Tupperware' cupboard, can ya tell?
Notice the penguin sitting with her?
It is her FAVORITE stuffed animal.
She LOVES it!
She has latched on to THREE penguins.
Each purchased by a different child in the house at a different zoo.
Nothing can bring a smile to her face quicker than one of her penguins.
So fun.
We were boogieing to 'Go Fish' on a cloudy day last week when I snapped this.
It is so her.
Carefree and happy.
I love this little miracle girl.
You can read about how God placed her in our family here.
Someday I will write the next chapter,
which will include the miracle kissing my nose in the picture below.

10 years of infertility and God blessed us with her.
Isn't He good!!!
I am humbled by the way God hand picked each one of my children and placed them in my arms.

'Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you.' Jeremiah. 1:5
'Just as you cannot understand the path of the wind or the mystery of a tiny baby growing in its mother's womb, so you cannot understand the activity of God, who does all things.'
Ecclesiastes 11:5

Ecclesiastes 11:5 speaks volumes to me. I will forever be in awe of the way God perfectly forms each baby in his mothers womb. It is so complex, so delicate, so intricate. I cannot wrap my mind around how each organ, toe and eyelash are formed. In the same way, I will never be able to understand the ways of God. He, in all His splendor and glory will continue to amaze me until the day I die.
