Grace meeting Grandma and Grandpa Boerner for the first time

Guess who is One month!!!! Can't believe a whole month has already passed. Bless you baby Grace!

~~ Grace Michelle Boerner ~~

Grace arrived on September 16th at 8:55AM via a planned C-section. Everything went great, Praise the Lord! Grace weighed 7lbs 6 oz and was 20 inches long. She has a lot of dark hair and dark eyes. She is named Grace Michelle, which means blessing or favor that resembles God. We named her Michelle, after my mother and sister, both of which are amazing women of God. Grace was just a name that we could not seem to get away from, we just kept coming back to it. Russ felt the Lord wanted to name her after His kindness and what better then Grace to convey God's kindness. It is only by His grace that we are saved!

Grace's first shot with mom and dad and our OB/GYN Dr. Doan. We love Dr. Doan she is an amazing doctor and such a blessing!

Esther and Ruth love their new sister. Esther loves to hold her and help change her diapers. She wants to do as much as she can to help and be near Grace. Ruth is a little less curious, however every once and a while she will look at Grace and ask "what's that?" Which is rather cute.

Baby Grace arrives home to 2 excited sisters!

A little family fun and photos from the last two weeks. Please keep us in your prayers as we make this transition! We are praying for joy and a smooth transition for both me and the girls (especially as dad goes back to work tomorrow). Russ is such an amazing dad, husband and friend. His help over these past two weeks has been such a gift and a blessing! Thank you honey you amaze me!

Saw this on a friends blog and I love it. She is singing my heart in this season with all these little ones at my feet and in my arms. Praise the Lord for He sees me, He knows me!

Happy Birthday Grandpa Boerner....hope you enjoy your song we love you!

We Have A Van!!!

Thanks to some dear friends from the past that we recently reconnected with...we have a great van. Scott and Angie Pease are such a blessing in so many ways. On this day it was in helping us buy a van for baby Boerner # 3. Scott owns a dealership in Michigan and one of his passions is helping people find cars that fit their needs. When we contacted them Angie told me it was like ordering a pizza, " you tell us what you want and we get it for you." I have to say that is exactly how it went. We said what we needed, wanted and how much we could afford and we got exactly that. It was great and STRESS FREE!!! What a blessing. We met the Peases half way in between KC and their home in MI. We even got time to reconnect with the them and have a little over night trip as a family. It has been great to reconnect with old friends, to have the car that will fit our growing family and to spend some time away loving on and just enjoying our girls.

Fun at the Hotel

A day trip to the local zoo!

Some fun at the park before we got into our new van and drove home! It was a great little getaway. Praise the Lord for the van He has provided for us! What a gift.

A Family Day at the Petting Zoo!
