2017 Update...

Viv is now nearly 18 months old. She loves her siblings, milk, baby dolls and naps.

Our family has grown by two feet since our last post. Sweet baby Viv joined us on August 3, 2016. She has been a great source of joy for all of us!! The road to get her here was treacherous to say the least. I spent a great deal of time in the hospital which meant that the rest of the family had to pick up the slack at home...wrapping all the Christmas presents, making meals, helping younger siblings with homework etc. The entire nine months was a labor of love and sacrifice for all of us. She is certainly worth it! Months before this pregnancy we had decided to pursue adoption again.  What a surprise to end up with a biological child rather than an adopted one! What's for certain is that God put it on our hearts to add to our family, we agreed and HE provided.
I had a severe case of Hyperemesis gravidarum and had to be hospitalized.
The pregnancy ended with severe bleeding and tied tubes.
The day Owie received the priesthood.
