In the midst of it all

In the midst of all this

Presents. Get togethers. Making cookies for others. Money. Stress.

Don't forget about this

For some reason this year

This season

I feel overly blessed.

I feel spoiled.

Loved.

I have been able to see the joy & peace.

Douglas...a man who never gives up on me. A man who loves me, who really loves me. A man who wants to know my thoughts, my heart and my ever changing dreams.

Olivia...a beautiful girl who loves to take care of others. She's such a little momma with a big heart to love. She may be a little diva, but she's our diva.

Alexander...my boy. He's my tough one. Maybe because it's ~~no longer~~ rarely cuddle with momma but be dudes with dad. He is so observant and wants to know everything. You can't say anything in front of him without him asking to explain so he can understand.

Addison...our baby, she is adored by all of us. She makes us laugh. She's a little ball of fire and the BEST sleeper any mother could ask for from a toddler. We love seeing her personality growing.

Hello if you don't know me I'm Katie I {obviously} blog here and you can find my instagram & twitter ---> Two things in my bag: 1. My cute little notebooks I found at Target and a variety of pens. I love pens. No seriously, you should see my pen + sharpie box. 2. My phone. I am a HUGE picture taker. I love taking pictures and using all the fun picture apps and posting pictures. If you love taking pictures come find me, we can have some instagram fun!!! Two things I'm looking forward to: 1. Hugs & coffee with friends. Friends I've never technically met. Friends that I will never forget, that will be hard to leave, that just get me. 2. Learning. Learning more about who I am. About the amazing way God created me as a woman. Learning from all these wise women that live with realness and grace. Being filled with His word. See you in 2-ish weeks!!!

We are not part of his story and he is not part of ours

"Write drunk; edit sober" -Ernest Hemingway I've never actually attempted this, but tonight I am. I've had my wine and if you know me at all it doesn't take much to get my lightheaded & giggly. I'm truly not a Windau (my maiden name) when it comes to my alcohol consumption. I put my catholic roots to shame. I'm ok with that. I'm not a mean drunk, but a purely giggly & say inappropriate thing drunk. Today stung. It stung hard. Last Tuesday we got a call for a little 5 month old baby. Technically we got a call for 4 boys but for reasons that I will not share, we could only say yes to little guy. And then there was waiting. And more waiting because our agency couldn't find a home for 4 of the little guys, they came from a sibling group of 6. All 6. Boys. That would be headed for permanent custody. In my mind all the things lined up. I had prayed for an orphan. I had been learning about how to bond with a baby in the adoption sens...
