Caleb Kurtis

No news on our travel dates yet, but I feel a great peace about it, even though I have been so anxious throughout this process. Has God not proven Himself to me?? He has been so faithful to us; I have to trust that His timing is perfect. I know that we will be with Josiah at the exact moment that He has planned.

In the meantime, I am trying to enjoy the first special treasure that He gave me: Caleb Kurtis. I know I’m his momma, but I have to say that this kid is special. If you haven’t met him, you are missing out! I’m trying to soak up these last moments, realizing that he will never be an only child again. Of course, he is always going to be our precious son, and we will always be absolutely in love with him, but things are about to change. I know that I will savor memories from these last three years for the rest of my life.

Here are some pictures of my crazy kid:

Isn't he adorable?

Not really into the picture thing.

Cool guy.

I refuse to cooperate.

The squinty face he makes sometimes.

Just my crazy kid.

    He is so cute and I am amazed at how smart he is!

    He is one precious, special boy. I love him so much. I can't hardly stand it I don't get to be with him more.

    I am praying for your trip: that you will be safe and it will be soon.

    Love you,
    Mema

    I don't think I have ever seen a kid whose face was a more perfect blend of his parents'.

    What a great boy! How could you not love him. He lives with such passion. Not unlike the Caleb in scripture. I know you are directing that passion toward our God. Can't wait to see how God uses him.
  • I love that boy. He obviously gets his cuteness from his momma...

    Great portrait shots! Looks like a Canon "nifty 50" to me...
