Bittersweet

Ah how bittersweet life can be. All we know is what we have already experienced. With each passing day that Molly grows older, becomes bittersweet in retrospect to what we experienced with Claire. We missed out on lots of smiles and eye contact and even crying for hunger, holding and bedtime. I wouldn't change our experience because that is what God has blessed our family with, but I do long for those things to happen with our sweet Clairebear. Children truly are a gift from God and we do treasure the uniqueness about each one. Hope is so outgoing, a live wire. My social planner, organizer, smart and funny girl. Claire is sweet tempered, beautiful and a cuddler. Molly has a quick temper, but then a glowing smile. It will be interesting to see how she develops her special personality.

I believe God has answered our prayer for now for a bigger house and that answer is NO. Which is fine with us, we love our humble house. So now our next prayer is whether or not to take Claire to the Mayo clinic this summer. We feel we need to see if there is anything else we should be doing for this sweet little one. And if the answer is no more than what we are doing now, then maybe we will have achieved some peace of mind. For the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
