God is so good...

He knows just WHAT we need WHEN we need it! since ethan has been born, i have been amazed at the amount of clothing this child already owns. we have a whole dresser full... but now that the weather is getting cooler, i am realizing that most of his winter clothes are 6-9 months or older... not much warmth in the 3-6 month department. so, i was just telling my mom that i need to keep an eye out for long sleeve shirts that are on sale. (brian couldn't believe it when i uttered the words, "ethan needs more clothes.") :) so.. i went to mops today, and i was saying what i just told you to a friend of mine... and a fellow mops member overheard me. she said, "i have a bag full of clothes for you!" she was just going through her 1 yr. old's old clothes the other day and was trying to find a home for them. praise God! and even better, she offered to drop them off at my house today! i gladly scribbled down my address for her, and sure enough, she knocked on my door this afternoon with a big ole bag of clothes. my favorite outfits are a "hungry little caterpillar" outfit straight out of the eric carle book and a little sunday church outfit, complete with a velcro tie and suspenders!!! i can't wait for him to sport that at nichele's wedding this weekend. :) as she was leaving, heather said, "this is so God!" that made me smile so big. not only does she have a generous spirit and a servant's heart, she took no credit. she gave the glory to God, the only place it should go. so, thank you Lord, for letting heather hear my need, and heather, thank you so much for living out 1 corinthians 10:31: "whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God." oh! ethan's awake! time for a fashion show! :)

Your entire layout and comments are wonderful, Emily. Makes me feel like I was drawn into every activity...and enjoyed them as well.
And, of course, the pictures of our little Ethan are super! thanks for sharing the joy.
