Don't shoot the brownies Dennis, or I'll tickle you!
***************************Amazing how much we have been through together and bonded with all his surgeries... a blessing in the midst of hard times. As he slowly moves into the next phases of his reconstructive surgeries, I know that we will experience more hard times. Somehow though, these surgeries just aren't as hard as they used to be. We both know what to expect.... I know how to soothe and comfort him.... he relies on and trusts my ability to comfort him exactly how he needs. A match made in heaven.

You know Christine, this may sound strange, but Dennis has blessed us, too. He is so endearing, my children always want to see him, we love him! You have inspired me to look into adoption, but at this time we have things here that we have to deal with with a few of our kids....so it is on the back burner. But thanks so much for sharing, and keep seeking Him in everything, it is so encouraging.
We have all come to love Dennis. From the first time I saw his picture, way back when you first committed to adopt him, I knew he belonged with you. Alex too. What a blessing that you all have so many people praying for you and your family. And what a blessing that we can be a small part of all that.
Beautiful post - I can just feel the love!
"A match made in heaven" really sums it all up. When I first saw pictures of Dennis I thought, "he is so lucky to have found such a wonderful family to be a part of" now all I can think is just how lucky your family is to have Dennis.

That picture just brings such a big smile to my face - and even without your lovely words. It is so clear that it was a match made in heaven! Lucky little boy - but lucky mama, too.
I love it! He is a Reed and he even looks like John, I think. The Lord is so incredibly good! This post has blessed my day Christine.

Such a sweet impish face! He's determined to blast those brownies right out of the pan! You can certainly tell he has big brothers, lol ;o) What a blessing for all involved!
yes, you are a match made in heaven. BEAUTIFUL!
Oh goodness! Dennis with that determined "biting his bottom lip" look about made me spew my coffee when I laughed. Thank you for a much needed belly laugh!! He is too precious.
I just loved this post!
