I can't quite find the time to blog right now, but plan to come back to it.  The whole reason I blog is to keep a log of stories/pictures of our full life.  Today we had an event happen that I don't want to forget for so many reasons...

We didn't have school today so we had an amazing peaceful morning at home.  Watching cartoons, making monkey bread, worshipping together, sharing what God is speaking over us, bubble baths, and counting down the minutes until we get to play with cousins.  I finally tell the boys they can head to Kourtney's house and I will follow after I change clothes.  Halle's playing in the living room on her play toy and Ella and I head to my room to change clothes.  I start to change clothes and just sense I need to check on where Halle is, only a few minutes have passed though.  Ella comes back in as I am getting my clothes on says "I don't know where she is..."  I immediately assume the boys have left the garage door open and she's gotten out of the house.  I go running through the house and see the door to the garage open and the garage open.  Halle is no where in sight.  

I come out of the garage yelling for Halle and turn to Judi's house and see Belinda Armstrong and Judi standing in their driveway holding Halle and crying.  I immediately see that Belinda's car is stopped in the middle of the street, Judi's car is backed up to the edge of the garage...The only real explanation is that God is with Halle.  He had His hand on her and truly had a hedge of protection around her. 

Halle had left my house and headed straight for Judi's house.  When she heard the garage door open she turned to head into the garage to see JuJu.  Belinda was backing out and saw something moving on the ground and realized it was a baby.  She stopped her car and got out waving her hands to get Judi's attention.  Judi couldn't see anything and thought she would just back out to talk to her until Belinda started yelling and waving for her to stop!  

We've had many conversations with our kids about closing doors today.  Haynes confessed to being the one who left the door open and has been heartbroken.  I felt such gratitude to be able to speak to his heart tonight and tell him that he is forgiven.  We love him and know how much he loves Halle and would never want something to happen to her.  

So many things I am thankful for tonight...sweet neighbors who are aware of our kids, God's grace and protection over Halle, Halle's smart brain that new where JuJu's house was and how to get there, Ella's quick response of not knowing where Halle was, and so much more...
