Meet Miles.

4 years ago, 

something began stirring deep inside my heart.

a stirring so strong, so real,

it would eventually lead us around the globe.

--

our journey to have kids has not been what we planned.

then again, is our life ever what *we* plan?

4 years after we decided to have children,

after a couple of heart-wrenching losses and hearing words like

{probably never have children}

our beautiful, oh-so-miracle baby boy entered our lives.

and then, after a pregnancy loss felt so personally, so deeply,

that my faith was rocked to my core,

our baby girl came.

grace abigail.

a picture of God's amazing grace in our lives

 as He sustained and authored her life, 

{even in the womb}.

why would we ever think that our third child would come easier?

--

his deep chocolate eyes looked into my own and pierced my heart,

and I loved him like only a mother can 

well before a judge would declare him ours.

we pleaded and prayed for almost a year and a half before we thought it was over.

our fight for the fatherless had ended.

and then, 

almost 2 years from the time I held him,

i felt the familiar stirring in my heart.

write again,

i felt.

try again.

and this time?

it worked. 

God moved mountains.

--

after an almost three-year journey,

we are deeply humbled,

and so very excited to announce what the Lord has done in our lives.

on the other side of the globe,

He is officially ours.

meet Miles Joseph Walker.

he loves swimming, playing with matchbox cars,

granola bars, and Coke.
