Tuesday Tell All- SIGHT

The topic today is SIGHT.

I LOVE to see my kids getting along. This picture was actually taken the day before Luke was born. It was one of those moments in time that just stays ingrained in your mind forever. I remember that day was one where I just felt like it couldn't get worse. We had been really stressing about the move to Alaska for the few months previous. I knew that the baby was coming, and I was worrying about getting all the arrangements made for who was going to watch the older kids, and I was actually in quite a bit of pain from all the contractions (I probably would have just gone in, but my doctor and the pediatrician who was supposed to assist in the c-section were both out skiing that night, so I figured we would just wait until the scheduled time the next day). We also had some major family challenges going on at that time as well, so I felt like my plate was completely full and couldn't see how having a baby wouldn't make it worse. Little did I know my cute kids were conspiring with the Holy Ghost to help me see differently. They had this little hour where they were all SO HAPPY and had so much fun with each other, laughing and rolling around just goofing off. Then I think they were dancing around, and it turned into a little hug-fest. I remember thinking that that was the last day that they would be just the 3 of them. And thinking how sweet it would be to have another little boy to enjoy their company and their love. I knew that Luke was being sent to a brother and sisters who would make him feel special. So anyway- it was a really special moment in time. I will never forget that feeling. I KNEW that Luke's coming would only add to the happiness in my life, not the hardship. I knew that the Lord had blessed us with him and that he would be that little light in the darkness. What a sight.
