Happy birthday my love ❤️✨ #supernovajames

One year ✨ My heart can hardly handle the fact that she’s a year old. It’s been a rough few days full of tears for me and mischievous giggles for her. She’s been secretly walking and I caught her the other day, while I stood there SHOCKED she laughed at me and...walked away. 🌻 She brings so much incredible joy and today is such a mix of emotions celebrating this milestone. Grief is weird. But I absolutely love that I get to see her grow older and catch little glimpses of what her sisters would be like ❤️ Happy Birthday my sweet and sensitive wild one ✨ #supernovajames

Happy 4th of July 🇺🇸 #supernovajames

I wish everyone could spend a day living life through her goofy little personality 😍 She cracks me up constantly. The last few days she has been grabbing our faces and wanting us to cover her in kisses. She screams at the top of her lungs with sheer joy and then pauses and takes a few deep breathes as if it were a TON of work to exert herself. She speed crawls after her daddy and then does over exaggerated labored breathing...because obviously crawling fast is super hard work. • Even with all the joy, sneaky sadness presses in...especially when I’m overwhelmed with other things. While I’m so utterly thankful this baby is almost a YEAR old this month, I also woke up so very heavy and sad and couldn’t understand why. @mkcoker316 pointed out it’s probably grief...and she’s right. Grief that Mara should be here turning one with Nova. Grief that I’ll never get to celebrate Eisley or Ava’s first birthdays. Grief that my baby is growing up too quickly. Grief is so complicated and messy at times. 🌻 #iamahopemom

Nine years of growing older with you and loving your laugh lines more every day ✨ I would choose you again and again if given the chance. Happy Birthday my love 😘 Thanks for making this last year the easiest one yet ❤️

This guy ❤️ The best daddy you’ll ever find. He honors his girls quietly, but so well. I didn’t realize until last year that he only wears this shirt on special occasions when he needs to feel closer to his first born ❤️ Happy Father’s Day love 🎉 #eisleyhope #avagalia #supernovajames

Eleven months ✨ I’m not even sure how she’s grown so fast, but she has. She’s trying to walk and has 9 words she uses consistently and probably another 9 more she’s keeping a secret until they’re perfected. Right now her funniest tricks are climbing, wiggling her tongue, blowing raspberries through her right cheek and somehow she figured out how to whistle 🤷🏻‍♀️😂😍 #supernovajames

Ten months ✨ Crawling, teeth, standing, trying to walk...it’s been a busy month with this sweet pea 🌻

Incredibly thankful for this view this year, but the ache for my babies will always be there ❤️ #iamahopemom

I have the privilege of having one mama and three bonus women who are mama figures in my life ❤️ The best mom’s and the best Grammie, Granmda, Mimi and Bella to Nova ✨ Happy Mother’s Day 😘

Looking for her dada ❤️✨ #supernovajames

Always on the move, couldn’t get her to stand still for the timer ✨❤️ #supernovajames

"The promises of Easter are true when our arms are full or when our arms are empty. I have felt both. The empty tomb assures us that the same power that raised our Christ from the grave will one day raise our children. The sin-crushing work of Christ that defeated our sin will one day defeat the death that comes to all of us—even our precious babes. This is how we can worship on Easter morning. Not because we have forgotten the babies we have lost. Not because our grief is small. It is precisely because our pain is deep and our tears are real that we can worship the God who knows all of our sorrows and promises to wipe every tear away. The resurrection power of our Christ gives us hope, even in our grief. As mothers on this painful pilgrim journey, we cling to the One who conquered the grave and will one day raise us to newness of life." - @courtneyreissig Praying today is gentle and you're able to find joy in the resurrecting power of our Jesus. He has Risen! #iamahopemom #eisleyhope #avagalia

Nine months ✨ There are too many milestones to list. The most obvious right now? Teeth. She buries her face in my shoulder and sobs. It’s no joke. Also, this is her oldest sister’s first birthday dress 🌻 #supernovajames

Thankful to work alongside these strong women! #iamahopemom

These moments. The moment I placed my hands on your little body in all of the chaos, blocking a nurse from shaving your red curls, “please stop”. The moment we were called into the deepest valley. Letting you go and giving you back to our Creator.🌻 One year closer my sweet girl. You are loved. #iamahopemom #eisleyhope

Happy Anniversary my love ❤️✨ #kleinhutch2013

Happy Birthday baby girl ❤️🎂🌻 #eisleyhope #iamahopemom

It poured and then cleared for just enough time to let some balloons go 🎈#eisleyhope #iamahopemom

he’s two. or twelve. with a ‘tude heaven help us all. he thinks he should run with his big sisters instead of nap with his baby sister. and yes he is huge. he almost weighs as much as the six and eight year olds and eats as much as them too. 😍 #addysengrace #mercyadoniyah #fostadopt

if only i could show you the smirks of my bathroom audience. #fostadopt #whowantstopeealoneanyway

let mama rock him to sleep. and I sat there wondering how many nights he fell asleep scared and alone, needing to be rocked to sleep. #mysweetboy #fostadopt

she’s one! she’s amazing. she’s feisty. she has so much personality it’s scary. and she loved her birthday cake...hence the look she’s giving mercy. she didn’t share. 😂 happy birthday sweet girl!! #mercyadoniyah #addysengrace #supernovajames

this cheesy grin is brought to you by a boy that loves snuggles. #fostadopt

me: no tablets or tv until she’s two! them: but mama! she’s doing school with us! 😍 #mercyadoniyah #addysengrace #fostadopt

someone has been asking for snuggles all day long. 💛 #fostadopt

running errands with mama comes with rewards. #mercyadoniyah #fostadopt

i don’t know how long grammie has had this train set...but i’m glad she kept it! #fostadopt #trainsfordays

my baby boy brought me a “bouquet” of flowers and said “for mama” which is huge cause he’s mostly non-verbal. #healing #fostadopt

the night owl reads a special book. // the early morning bird falls asleep with all the lights on. // i dunno. not sleeping though. #addysengrace #mercyadoniyah

when the toddler eats more than the parents. we might need to double our grocery budget for this little person. is he two, twelve or twenty?!

if you were wondering why we disappeared...i bring you the reason. 😍

this kid. she also love vbs! #addysengrace #missionarykids

mercy’s first time attending VBS here in the states. what a blessing! thanks to @bonnieklein and @caceyklein for taking her and mrs. pope for being the best 3rd grade teacher hands down! #mercyadoniyah #missionarykids

early morning walks.

life is a mystery. 😍 #usa2019

Greg and his wife Laura were missionaries for 17 years. Having Greg baptise both our kids while living in California this year has been pretty special! #missionarykids #mercyadoniyah #eightyearsold

gf+vegan waffles with vegan cool whip for the birthday girl. #mercyadoniyah #lamultiani #eightyearsold

dad, the longer i’m a parent the more i realise just how self sacrificing you were and are. thank you for going grey for us. 💛 you have been my hero as long as i can remember. happy father’s day.
