Happy 14th Birthday Natey Boy

Today we celebrate Nathaniel Thomas Hirschberg!!

Nate you are a blessing to our family in so many ways.  You love Jesus.  You love deeply and to your core.  You are a right-fighter whose learning he doesn't have to be right nor will all things be right.  You are a deep thinker and analyzer.  You love to agitate and are quite good at that;)  You love baseball.  You love to swim.  You love your brother and sisters.  You are a fisherman.  You love others.  You love to rough house anytime, anywhere, anyone....(ugh).  You are awesome at sock wrestling.

NATE You are LOVED!

There are moments when I could ring your neck and in the next minute hug you forever.  You have taught me many times what it looks like to love even when its hard with some of your examples.  You have a heart for people to know Christ!!  You know that you need Him!  Nate, I pray you always know how desperately you need Jesus!

Happy Birthday, I LOVE YOU!

 

 

Sadie turns 2

Today my heart is overwhelmed as we celebrate our baby girl turning two!  WE are amazed at how this little person has become a part of us and this family in a very short time.  Its as if she has always been here with us and as if I delivered her myself.  But that is not how God chose to have her become part of our family.  Thousands of miles away a young mother who gave the gift of life holds fast to her dreams she had for her little girl in which she was not able to provide herself.  Her act of selflessness is our blessing.  We are so full of love and humbled by God for truly allowing us to be her parents.  One day I hope we can meet her birth mother to be able to hug and thank her for the amazing gift she gave to us.

Sadie is two and what does being two mean? She is repeating everything you say, she dances her little heart out to any type of music that is on(even rap):) She enjoys "reading" her books and loves to play with babies and gives them lots of kisses.  And yes, she is showing those two year old stubborn acts of defiance but she wouldn't be normal if she wasn't.  Sadie is so funny and brings so much joy and happiness to our family..she truly lights up the room!  Her personality is off the charts...she loooooves people and she is truly a very happy little girl.

So today we are reminded of God's love for each one of us as for those of us who believe are adopted into His family and the love that our heavenly Father feels for us is more then we can comprehend but having adopted now we are simply amazed of how that love is just instant and soo soooo special!

Happy Birthday sweet baby girl, we love you so very much!

(one day soon we will be able to show her pretty little face, but not yet)
