We Plan, God Laughs

I remember when I used to plan my life. I knew how everything was going to turn out, and I was in complete control of what happened to me. Or so I thought. Each step of my life has taught me that plans do not always work, and the key to happiness is learning to appreciate the blessings in each situation we find ourselves in.

This summer we decided that our family was complete, and that we wouldn't be adopting anymore. Our family felt complete, and we were so happy with our two boys and baby girl. Then at the end of August our adoption lawyer called to tell us that Clara's birth mom was pregnant, and invited us to adopt the baby girl due to be born in early December. We hadn't financially planned for a fourth adoption and we had already gotten rid of most of our baby stuff, but Tyler and I both felt like it was the right thing for our family. We're now less than six weeks away from the baby's due date, and I'm still in shock that we have another baby on the way! There was a time when I didn't know if we would ever have children, and now we are about to have four children under the age of four. The noise and chaos level in our house is about to reach a new level of crazy!
