Did you know that when you conceive and grow a little one, their DNA becomes a part of you, as the mother? Did you also know that all of your subsequent children will also carry earlier childrens' DNA. Yes that's right our sweet Anastasia has not only a mix of mine and Daddy's DNA, but also has pieces of each of her siblings, making for a lasting bond. We were discussing this the other night and it was utterly mind blowing for the older boys. They were so proud to have a hand in Anastasia's make up and very eagerly wanted to know what traits they gave her.
Right there, do you see that cute little dimple? That's from you, Paul Thomas
See those smiling eyes? Those are from you, Avery.
Those sweet, tiny, delicate hands, those are from our other Little Lady.
The desire to be a part of everything comes from you, Georgie. She settles best for her naps when there is sheer chaos, just like you George. And squeals in delight when you all are dancing around the swing.
At that is how God ensures a family bond, He doesn't just stop with love but cements it into our very being! From the first moment Anastasia was she was forever bonded to all of us.
