Life in the White family has been anything but dull! We were blessed to welcome our new son Skyler Edward on April 12th--- weighing in at 8lbs 12oz!
So thankful that God has entrusted us with this new life! We are adjusting to life once again with a newborn and learning or relearning many life lessons...- Learning to function on little sleep-- funny how 4 hours of uninterrupted sleep feels like we hit the jackpot!
- Relearning how to pack the diaper bag.
- Relearning how to pack the diaper bag.
- Getting three kids ready for church (we had issues being on time with two children...!)
- Fitting three carseats across our backseat and deciding who to put in the middle (final decision: Skyler goes in the middle to help diffuse sibiling rivalry!)
I think the biggest lesson, is being reminded how we were created to be absolutely dependant on our heavenly Father... just as Skyler is dependant on us and requires our full attention... God desires us to be dependant on Him and wants our full attention! Just as we look into the face of our new baby boy, in awe of how perfect He has been created and filled with such love for him... Our Father looks down at His creation in awe and filled with unconditional love for each one of His children!
Thankful that God's grace is sufficient for us ALL of the time...whether it is during those sleepless nights or times when the crying feels like it will never cease... or going out to eat for the first time with three kiddos and everyone decides to have a melt down .. whatever the circumstance ... God is always there and when we are weak He is strong!
We thank God for this new season and for the completion of our family! We look forward to the many new experiences and lessons ahead for The White Family! :)
