lately...

sticker princesses have been at work.  

 my sweet and wonderful bestie came for the weekend!  

we explored my favorite places, including tea time at Mama Carmen's!

 we like pretending hadleigh is our baby

sweet lena is no longer half way around the world like in this picture, but probably less than 4 miles down the road from where i sit and type this.  such an answered prayer.  you can keep up with this sweet, beautiful girl and her family here and here.  i love anything written by either of her parents.  

and last but not least, my sweet, beautiful, "kindred spirit" friend abby and her husband are adopting!  i feel like i could type a lot on this subject so for tonight i'll just share a favorite picture and the link to her story.  it's a beautiful story.  join me in praying over their family and little girl.  our God is SO good.
