I can't believe how everything is coming together like it is!
Each day I am amazed by the love and concern for our dear friend, Leslie.
AManda too, as I know that she is probably dealing with a lot of unanswered questions at the moment. But praying that God sees everything through according to his will.
That her sweet baby is healthy and okay.
A while back I mentioned making a "List" for Leslie. You can find the first post here
I know that this is a last minute thing and I have been around some, but just minutes at a time. My little guys keep me so buisy and really if you saw our calender for the next three months then you would totally see where our spare time goes :P
I think Leslie is truly going to be blessed with everything that we have already done for her. I can only imagine and picture her reaction when she comes to this blog.
I thought it would be fun to make a list of all the things we LOVE about Leslie, and her family. If you ladies think we are just too short for time, I totally understand.
If not...instead of emailing me with your list of things, which would be way too time consuming, you could just simply leave a comment here and then they would be rewritten in "The List"
Does this sound too cheesy?
I love the thought of a list, but I'm so afraid that maybe I'm not the man or in this case the women for the job lol...If you guys have a better idea feel free to shoot!
Let me know what you think!
