Riding along...

Let's hear it for Adyn..3 weeks ago about,Adyn learned to ride his bike without training wheels and last night he just learned to ride what used to be Bailey's 50 KTM dirtbike. Now Adyn gets the fun of it,and hoping to get Bailey one this fall ,and daddy one in the spring. So looks like there will be some dirtbike riding good times in the future!!! Have a great week!!  Maiya starts school 2 days a week next week then Adyn kindergarden, and Baileys the big 5th grade! Yikes!, they sure are moving along. I feel like some times,wait a minute  kids.... let me catch up here!!:)

It still hasn't left me...

Well this post will be documented because you just never know where God will take you or lead your heart too..
It still hasn't left me,I have lately kinda been like, NO! this is it,I try to go on, but it still hasn't left. Then the dream when I least expected it. In fact I had done closed up, or atleast tried to on the idea.
So about a few months back,maybe 2-3. I had this dream of me holding a baby girl,(Maiya's sister) if this is gonna happen. She had chubby cheeks and different pig tails in her hair. She was healthy and plunp with dark hair. In this particular dream,I was holding her and smiling and talking to someone.
 I was telling them that she had been home 18 months and that was how long we've had her.
It was a clear picture of me and her,black and white,no color. Like a portrait picture shot, but in a conversation with someone. In my dream I was looking at me. It was like I was watching myself talk to me. Nobody else in the dream. I thought first thing I needed to write it down but never did.
 Shane and the kids I assume were there just standing as I talked to me or someone in this dream.
So who knows...I am not closing the doors ever to what God wants to call in our lives as the Fenwick 5. I trust his plan is perfect,and I know he does not break any promises nor neither lie. So if this is GOD,it will come to pass,if it is his plan and if we listen. I sure don't see a way any time soon,but with Maiya we didn't see it all or have it all,God just lead and we followed.
 Sometimes ,I know I don't always listen,but I am learning. So is it God talking?,we wait and keep being thankful and loving life together. No matter what, we are blessed beyond words.)

Something new from the past week,the other night,while I was sleeping,I seen a name spelled out before me...Sophie. So I don't know,I thought that Maiya would be our only girl. If she is,I am content and thankful,thrilled actually.... but if God has other plans,I trust he will reveal how,when,where and work on daddy's heart. Right now I believe Shane's heart is so full..full of love for Maiya and the boys,full of gratefulness. It has not hit Shane's heart yet, if it is meant to be. And since he is the leader of our family,God will lead him if this all  is suppose comes to pass.
 So with all that being said,we still are just loving one another. And like always... I document it all,so I can later see the big picture.:)

God is faithful,always

As I was cleaning the kitchen today,God started to remind me of all the times he has been faithful to us. So many times these past 3 months God has been there for us,even when I couldn't see how or when things were gonna work out. First God has healed my heels and feet recently. Let me tell you about it: For several weeks into months. Every morning when I would wake up,I could not walk right. My heels and feet felt so bad. I had to put on shoes with inserts in them,I could not walk barefoot. It was a struggle to get out of bed and walk even to the bathroom. I was limping like I was crippled I even had to hold to the bed. I couldn't stay on my feet long. The kids had to help me around the house. Shane and I agreed that I did not want to go to the doctor,we agreed together to pray. So we just prayed about it for weeks and weeks. I told the LORD that I needed my feet to take care of the children, and asked him to heel them. I told him I was not going to the doctor and that I believed in him. So I still kept getting that pain and stiffness. But I didn't stop believing and being patient. Unlike me,patient. So about 2 sundays ago,God reminded me in church,... God said "your feet,your heels? Healed,pain was gone. I totally forgot about it all,I got so use to hurting and the last I remember was hurting. Then I was like,Oh my goodness,I have not hurt for weeks,Thank you God. God reminded me. So I am so thankful today for God's healing power and mercy. Mercy that keeps me everyday. We have had many other blessings come our way how God has provided for us. We have even recieved blessings when there was no way,but HOPE. When we didn't even tell a soul.... God knew,God provided. Jehovah Jireh,my provider.

The health benefits for us mommys!

I have tried and tried to post that this blog was gonna come to a hault for the summer and well...maybe for good. Can't get that post to post ,so maybe it is not meant for me to close shop just yet,right? So now I will tell you about the good health news for you.

Shane and I have started something healthy. A organic apple cider vinegar drink from the healthstore! It helps with it all,natural and even promotes weight loss,hooray!! You mix 1-2 tsp of vinegar with 1-2 teaspoon of honey in a 8 oz glass of water and drink one morning,midday and evening. It is also a natural pick me up that helps give you energy. The heat does not even bother me,Yesterday,I washed and cleaned the inside of the van,...in the middle of the day. I feel better,lighter,and it curves your appetite while cleaning your body of toxins!! This and green tea and cutting back with some walking....outta help this mama shed some pounds and get in shape. Shane even takes this in his lunch. We started this a week ago today. So many health benefits to this apple cider vinegar,and the brand is BRAGG's. only 6 bucks for a 32 oz bottle. Try it!! I am not a vinegar person,but it doesn't taste bad.

Today one year ago...May 21st!

Today one year ago we landed on US soil home sweet home from beautiful INDIA!! Off to shoney's to eat amercian food and me...so TIRED!! Tired from holding Maiya Reela for 19 hours all the way. Daddy was able to give me a few breaks,but not much.:) We were so glad to see our boys and the family. So glad. Time in India was grand and yet it flew by. I guess anytime you are having a grand time,it flys by it seems. Yes, time does fly because I cannot believe a year has passed!! So thankful that our Maiya Reela is home with us...forever.

I have decided that this will be my last blog post for the summer and well maybe for good,unless ...!?

Kinda bittersweet. This will be our family's adoption journey from 2008 to 2011.

Hopefully,turn this to a book. As soon as I double check it all.:)

I wanted to say that you all have been such wonderful friends thru the bloggy world and such a support group. Thanks for reading our journey. Our email address will stay the same if you ever want to contact us.:)

School will be out June 3 and I want to enjoy it all because Adyn starts kindegarden in the fall, and Maiya and I start to school, and Bailey will be in 5th grade! So this summer the blog cannot be in my to do list. I want to devote my blog time other places. Happy days to you all. I still will be checking on the great journeys of other families and cheering you on. Pictures of the family posted below,lots of them!!
