Fall and FALLS

Fall is certainly in the air. LOVE this weather, love the smells that come with this time of year, love the colors that God paints the morning and evening skies, love the shades of color of orange and red that he lays on the leaves in the trees and on the ground. Only our Lord can paint with the colors of Fall.

This time last year I was pretty pregnant, almost miserable and getting very excited about the upcoming arrival of our sweet Sophie.

This time this year I am still trying to lose the "Sophie" weight and I still very excited about the arrival of our sweet Sophie and all the milestones that have happened.

Sophie turned 9 months old last week. Doesnt seem like it has been that long. It has been an emotional roller coaster lately. The ups are higher than high and a few lows that have wanted to hang around, but by HIS grace we have over come.

Some of our highs are that SOPHIE IS WALKING. Doesnt seem real. She still seems to small to walk, but over the coarse of a week she went from holding on to furniture and walking, to letting go and taking a few steps to someone holding their hands out, to pulling up and letting go and taking off.

Proverbs 3:23 Then you will go safely on your way; your foot will not stumble

I know that this is a new journey for Sophie, she will have many steps in her life and many falls to come. My prayer for her and Gracie and Jake is that when they FALL and stumble and feel on the bottom, that they will turn to HIM and know that HE upholds all those who fall (Psalm 145:14) and they will find HIS strength in their weakness.
