3 Months
Some of my favorite pictures of the new year...
Thank you so much for all of the prayers lifted up for us these past several weeks! We are doing well and staying busy with our two sweet babies, hence the lack of recent posts. Today Faith Clare is 3 months old and overall she has been a great baby. She is super smiley, loves looking at other smiling faces, is fascinated by her brother's play and well, still sleeps quite a bit.
...On the downside however, just the past two weeks, something in her has changed. We can't quite figure out what is wrong but she is clearly VERY uncomfortable and has been crying, often inconsolably. We have been to the doctor several times now, ensuring that it isn't anything obvious, and again today, the exam went well. She has been on several different medications for her reflux and while we continue to adjust the doses, our pediatrician feels that we might need to pursue things a bit further. Tomorrow we have an appointment to get an upper GI test and then we will be referred to a pediatric gastroenterologist at Texas Children's. While I continue to pray for God's hand of protection on her and her health and I truly believe that this is "temporary", my mind often wanders... Some days are more challenging than others and today was definitely one of them. If I could ask you to pray for her and the healing of whatever is distressing her, we would so greatly appreciate it!
Also, while I will soon be posting about Maddox's birthday and how we spent the day, I just want to let you know that it was beautiful, tearful and quite simply... thank-filled. We love you all and are so blessed by you!

I am praying for Miss Faith tonight!
The first thing I wanted to tell you was that that first pic of Faith is absolutely striking! It is just a gorgeous pic of her...worthy of framing, in my opinion! She is just so beautiful. :-)
I will certainly be praying for this new situation....we are having a medical issue right now with Ethan too (which I have kept off of my blog for now, but I may talk about it soon once we know more of what is going on) and it is just so hard to watch your child sick or uncomfortable in any way. He had to have blood drawn Tuesday, and I didn't think I was going to make it! It was awful.
I will be steadfastly praying for you all as you face this--praying that God will lead the docs to quickly and efficiently get to the bottom of what is going on, and have the wisdom in knowing exactly what to do to treat her. And, also, for you--that your fears and worries would subside. I understand girl. I do.
Love you Kenz--I got your email and will get back with you soon.
For peace, for wisdom, for healing...
Much love from Scotland,

Please keep us "posted" on how you all are doing! Know you are busy but I know we all really appreciate it and helps us to know how to pray.
Love,
