Rob and I both are sick 😷 sinuses yuck! I don't know if it's good ol west Texas or the pollution we breathed for two weeks. Either way we are sucking down the emergen-c and trying to push through.
Henry is adjusting well. We are struggling to sleep the though the night but getting better each night. He loves his sisters and watches their every move. He doesn't seem bothered by the dogs and loves Sharing his snacks. He's exploring all toys and trying to figure out what they all do. He doesn't like the word "no" one bit. 😂 He's learning the floors here are not softly padded like the orphanage so when he throws himself back in response to "no" ... it doesn't feel great. He's such a wonderful kid. I couldn't have even known to ask for a gift so great. His laugh fills up my soul. His smile warms my heart. We have ventured out of the house a few times and he's capturing the hearts of everyone he meets. He loves being outside like his sisters. He thinks I make the best congee in the world... ok maybe I made that up....
Emily and Olivia are great helpers. Emily wants to hug and hold him often. Livvy... well she's not really sure. She likes to help with feedings and baths but she's struggling with how he affects her place in our hearts 💕. We keep reminding her that love multiplies. Our hearts get bigger and we love each other more! It's going to take time. We will get there. Slow and steady wins the race! I mean I guess it does... haha.
Rob and I are so thrilled to have three kids. It's a logistical challenge but I'm working on a rhythm. It's not nearly as hard as going from 0 to 2... this feels much much easier. Not easy... but easier than with the girls. Our hearts are full and proud and blessed beyond measure and we are humbled that God gave us these amazing kids to love and treasure.
Mom is "recovering ". She's been sick, probably finally came down with all the bugs the girls had while we were gone. We are so grateful for all that she did while we were gone! She's an amazing woman... I'm not sure she will volunteer again though hahaha.
Please continue to pray for us as we adjust and get to know each other and learn what being a family of 5 is like. Pray for the girls to be confident in their place in our hearts and in this family. Pray that Henry will continue to grow and get settled.
Your prayers have sustained us this far.... we are so so grateful for your love and support! Thank you. From the bottom of our hearts 💕
With love and gratitude.
Team Taylor
