I need your help :)

He's cute.

We've had quite a time at our house with a summer cold we all passed around! Jake also got two molars in the past couple weeks. Those were doozies! I had a double ear infection that's left me unable to hear perfectly... so weird. If you see me in public, you might need to yell, or tap me on the shoulder. I'm constantly saying, "huh??" :-/

I hope you are enjoying your summer! We sure are! We've taken full advantage of the summer sun and spent lots of time playing outside and in the water. Derick built Jake a swing set recently. Jake is obsessed with it. And I don't mean he just likes it. I mean, he will FLIP out when we take him out of it. He will stand by the swing and cry his little head off until you go get him. He is kind of difficult sometimes! :) But still cute as heck, nonetheless.

Guys, I have a special need right now that I could really use prayer for. So, when you think about it, pray that I can let God handle this need. I have an issue with giving up control on the bigger issues in life and this is a need that I certainly have zero control over. I've thought long and hard about posting this here, and I think my not wanting to is more selfish than anything. I can't get the prayers I need without putting it all out there. So, please pray for patience and peace for Derick and I as we venture into our second endeavor with the fertility drug Clomid. If you've kept up with the blog, you know that Jake was a "Clomid baby", so we know that it definitely can work. I just really have problems with the strength of my faith in this area. It is really lacking and it really needs to not be. Pray that I can just trust God and his timing. Thank you in advance for your prayers!

Happy weekend, friends. Make it a good one!
