and then there were TWO

We have been receiving the privilege of getting to love on Elijah and the Coffee's newest little Mr. Gabriel. He is PRECIOUS. They both are. Now not only have I gotten a sneak peek at an adoption rollercoaster (twice), but at twins. Oh me oh my.
Kristen has her heart and her hands very full. If anyone is up for the task it is that awesome mom. Let me tell you. She juggles each of there special care so well, and calmly, and David just beams at fatherhood. Its beautiful. And biggest brother Caleb, oh that boy has the dearest of places in not only my heart but Rylans for sure. He is an amazing amazing brother and little boy. His heart is total gold. I swear the reliance on the Lord shines through them.

This week our home has been infant central.
In fact, last night I took some pictures and told Nick, look what was left for me under the Christmas tree....

too bad I think they are going to take them with them, you think?

 ways you can pray for this family
- for grace, heaps of grace as they make this family and daily life adjustment.
- for healing for both boys have heart issues and have been diagnosed with down sydrome.
- for rest
- for both birth moms, especially Gabriels, who this is very new and raw and her final goodbye is drawing near, and her heart is aching.
-for travel back to New York, as a family of five... and for kind flight neighbors.
-for provision, as finances surely will change with both additions.
-for both of them to cling to Jesus as they get stretched phsyically in the coming months. Babies are tiring.

lucky us to get to love on all five of them again, crazy huh.
below - me with Gabe. Nick with Elijah.
