I had a dream last night that our kids were here! I have been having more dreams as of late which is maybe a sign that they will be here soon??? Unfortunately, most of my dreams are disastrous! Most of the disaster is related to boys. I don't put a lot of stock into my dreams because, to tell you the truth, most of my dreams are disastrous, crazy, or at the very least...extremely odd. However, they usually do reflect a shadow of what I have been thinking about. To dream about boys might indicate that I am scared to death to tackle this new breed.
Here is my life experience with boys. I have 3 sisters and 1 brother. I have 3 daughters. I have always had lots of girlfriends but only a couple of boyfriends. I have always appreciated boys, but never really understood them. It seems that the first thing that people say when they find out about our boys is... "Boys?!! In the Mork house?? You have got to be kidding?" This is usually followed up by a knowing smirk and a... "heh, heh, heh..." I don't really mind. It actually makes me kind of excited about life with boys. Plus, I happen to think that boys will be lots of fun and we might just be really good at raising them??? Who knows? It is just another reason for us to hang on tight to Jesus to walk us through all of this.
Something happened to me when we were away to "the cabin". It was a turning point for me. There was a psychological and maybe spiritual change that took place. for me. I have been excited for our kids to come, but now I am ready for them to come. Something clicked and I am really ready to go. This is still really exciting and scary and daunting all at the same time...but I am ready for this new chapter to begin. Boys and another teenage daughter?? Let's go...bring it on! :)
Here are more pictures of our kids. Don't they look great! I'm very proud of what I see!

Mary,
I hope that God read your blog and realizes that you are now, not only excited, but also READY for the kids too come. Perhaps that and the dreams mean it will be soon! I have not given up hope that it could still happen before school starts. You are going to LOVE having boys--I know I do. Nothing makes me happy than my grown boys--the growing them might be challenging but it is worth it. I continue to pray for you, Allen and ALL your kids.

Mary,
How beautiful to hear how God has brought you to readiness. I remember that feeling with both of the boys. I also love the way that you are their mother already. You're children are truly blessed to have you as a mother. Just think of the joy in heaven as the plans God has for all of you come together!! Praise His Name!

I loved reading how you suddenly became "ready" to have your children come. That is so cool, Mary! I am so excited for you and so proud of you and Allen for being willing to trust God for what will be such a big change for all of you. I know you have so many blessings in store!
