Please come if you can. Josh & I would love to see you...Maya wants to meet everyone, too:)
she is so beautiful!!! wish we could be there to support allof you guys at teh fund raiser, but a bit far for us :) still awaiting our little bub :) hopefully any day now, my parents get in tomorrow so maybe she's waiting for that :)
Maya is just so beautiful! I saw Linsay at my cousin's wedding Saturday! She told me that Maya's middle name is Elise. I love that! In fact, Annalise is actually supposed to be Ann & Elise combined but I just liked the way it looked with an 'a.' Hope y'all are doing great! Are you getting any sleep?
So glad you guys had a good visit! Ryan loved talking to Josh too! We miss you guys! That's the bad thing about having other close friends that preach. You know you'll never live close! :)
Emily, it was WONDERFUL to spend time with you on Saturday. Seeing how happy you were with Maya helped me out more than you'll ever know. I also LOVED holding her. What a precious BEAUTIFUL blessing she is!
I thought you might travel to the Crosby fundraiser. Dana asked if we could come, but I don't see how we can...too expensive. Oh how fun that would be, though, to meet little Maya! Does she have strawberry blonde hair?
Emily, Maya is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Mark and I are so happy for the three of you. I know you are enjoying motherhood-it is such a gift! Kiss her all you can! They grow fast and then are harder to pin down for kisses. :)
Whatever is easier for yall. If we get together after services that might be really late for yall to drive home. If we have dinner I could make something here or we can go out to eat.
I'm THRILLED to share the news that Josh & I have a little girl! God has answered prayers above & beyond our hopes. Thank you to all who have prayed for us over the past few years. We feel extremely blessed to have so many share in our joy.
P.S. - Thanks for all of the help in getting my pictures uploaded!
She is one beautiful little girl!! Maybe Maya and Bella can get together for a play date soon:) I hear that Aunt Katy and Uncle Jay have been using these little girls as competition...who has the cutest niece, etc:) Katy even ordered an "I love my Aunt Katy" shirt when she saw the shirt you got for Maya! So happy for you both!!
Oh, Emily! I have been waiting on pins and needles and I am so happy to hear this wonderful news!! She is GORGEOUS! When is her birthday? How much did she weigh and measure? What's her middle name? I love "Maya!" Praise God!
I'm so happy for you all! What a blessing for your little girl to have such wonderful parents. May the Lord bless you all as you embark on this new life-long adventure. Hugs to you guys! She is BEAUTIFUL!
I hope you can use them. Is there a Target close by? If not you & Maya will just have to come to CP and go shopping with us!! You better hurry there are 2 girls at CP that 2 months older than Jacob!!! lol :)
I basically need help learning how to do a little bit of everything on here. Who wants to tell me where to get info on creating rooms & putting up pictures?
Hmmm... I would suggest blogspot.com - it's much easier to navigate and add pictures to than this.
I'm DESPERATE to hear your news!!! I've heard some things through the grapevine, and have really been meaning to write. Please share! In the meantime, we're praying!
Oh, I meant to mention, too, that you have to be gold to put up pictures through Pleonast. Otherwise you will have to have a different host. A lot of people use Photobucket. I, once again, use blogspot.
We use photobucket too for pictures. I didn't realize that you had to be gold to put pictures directly onto pleonast but that makes sense since I've never figured it out. I'm also desperate to hear your news. We got an email from Lauren that - info that she'd gotten through Coulter's mom but can't wait to hear more! I will try and call you in the next few weeks but I'm sure you are very busy right now!
I would use Photobucket. When you upload them, you just have to copy and paste and it shows up! I can't wait to hear the news! Please don't keep us waiting too long. :-0
can't wait to see moer pics, i loved the ones before!!!! to post pics on here in a gallery you have to have gold, but to post regular ones you have to upload them to photobucket first. it's really easy to use it.
Nathan showed me some pictures that he had gotten from you! Congratulations...so precious! You and Josh will be great parents for such a beautiful addition to the Lankford family!!
yay!! I can't wait to see pictures:) We are SO happy for you guys!! I always would just upload pictures to photobucket and then copy and paste them to pleo. That is pretty easy.
Most of you know that Josh & I are on an adoption journey, waiting for the baby God has planned for us. Throughout the past 17 months, we have been blessed in so many ways. It is amazing to see God's hand in even "the little things". Christians & strangers alike have been very supportive, encouraging & kind in ways that may seem small (I assure you, they are not insignificant to us!) But sometimes God works in ways that we cannot ignore. You know, they are just that obvious. I try to share this with everyone when talking about our adoption, and I didn't want to miss the opportunity to share it with those of you I don't talk with often or regularly.
Sacred Selections Foundation .... I won't go into the history of this foundation because you can read about it on their website or ask me individually. Some amazing Christians have dedicated SO much prayer, time, energy and money into starting this foundation. Their mission is to financially help Christian couples who are wanting to adopt a child. We are one of a few of the couples Sacred Selections has helped. Most of you are probably not thinking of adopting a child, but many of you may wonder how you can help others or use some of the physical blessings God has entrusted to you. This is a very worthy "cause" to consider! Most importantly, your prayers can do so much good for us, the Sacred Selections Board & each family waiting to bring a child into their family.
