What are you waiting for??

Welcome back to my other blog!!
Let's recap..
since February..
:/
The boys have been doing some blooming!
Lots!!
This was a great summer!Many of you have been staying caught up with our little world through the Joy-full-ness blog...
but there is something BIG I have been keeping..

look how much fun this picture is...
we've seen this scene before...
the line up..
everything from only cars..to only animals...only elephants...and here Little people..



but there is a difference..



These people are going somewhere..(to Pug-lix, ofcourse!)
they are busy..
they have a purpose!!

They are still waiting...but they are going places!!


This summer an anthem has rung in my head often..
"What are you waiting for??"
Mostly from the song by Britt Nicole ...
here are some of the words...
What are you waiting for..
What do you have to lose??
Your INSECURITIES
try to hold to you..
You know you're made for more..
so don't be afraid to move..
Your faith is all it takes and you can walk on the water too!!

(I read the book So Long Insecurity also, you know...)
It's been a Summer of GROWTH!!
and much CHANGE!!


Our family received Mauldin!
He is our DOG FOR AUTISM.
our extra set of eyes and ears.
He will give us opportunities for more independence.
sigh.
He is marvelous.
We needed him.
He needed us too!
We are still in training.
We are learning.

The circumstances are truly breathtaking.
I apologize for not being able to reveal everything
about how this came to be..
I know it was from the LORD!


This was within the first couple days..
we gave our couch away,
we needed more room for our new family member.
The boys are loving him.
I've been surprised at how well they have welcomed him into their lives.


Lee has been trying to get Sam to play with
some of his toys more appropriately.
Here he is playing with his favorite gator toy..



making a path for him to travel on..

we are thrilled for this new engagement!!

Just hanging out together on a Saturday..



Mauldin
Loves him a nice handmade quilt!
Clearly we were meant to be!


he has even gotten used to all the picture taking!!
I think he is smiling here!!


(just some exploring)



This was such a sweet sign for me.
Mauldin came in from exploring his new back yard and i discovered this little heart shaped leaf..
on his bum!
you know me and heart shaped leaves..
This is just the beginning of so many adventures.
We feel so loved upon.
I want to encourage you to help someone else in their journey too.
They are asking for $50,000 to cover the cost of raising, training and placing 2 dogs with other
families.
This organization is really struggling and they do not have the needed support funds.
Thankyou for taking the time to VOTE!
It does not take much time at all.
But every vote counts...everyday!!
I hope to be back in the next week..
for now..
What are YOU waiting for??
