Changes Update so we can Blog Again

Alot has changed in the little world of BUMBAUGH!  Much of it was too painful and too private to share on my normal blog, and much of it I just had to go into survival mode for awhile so I didn't have time to update for a few years either. 

We had three beautiful girls, Kaydee, Alli and McKenna leave our homes after just over two years of being a huge part of our family, to go be with their forever family.  The story of this was long and hard and crazy wild how God took care of the details.  I think the ONLY thing that got our family through the pain of saying goodbye to these beautiful girls that we saw as our daughters, was knowing it was HIS WILL.  It was HIS Plan. Sometimes when God asks something of you, it is only for a season but sometimes, I get a season mixed up in my head as if it is forever.  This was one of those cases.  I truly believed They were my daughters and when God came to us and told us differently, it was the hardest thing I believe we ever had to face to this day.  Saying goodbye to them, broke our hearts and thus started a three year journey of heavy grieving and mourning unlike anything I had experienced to that point.  Saying goodbye to Jameson was the first hard cut and that was intense but saying goodbye to the girls and choosing to let them go was utterly impossible, except GOD.  So I didn't blog much during their years with us because we had four babies under the age of three and I was pretty busy to say the least.  Blogging about our life was impossible because LIVING OUR LIFE at that time was nearly impossible in itself!  The girls left and over a year later God brought us a sweet baby boy named Champ.  Who would have thought that babies are the source of healing but God knew that a teeny tiny baby was just what we needed to occupy and start healing our hearts.  He left a year later to go be with his forever family also, through the process of kinship.  I didn't blog anymore because I just simply started writing letters to each of the girls and Champ, helping me process though the pain and grief of saying goodbye.  God was faithful and still is as he directs our lives. 

Now, we currently have two little brother babies!  They are precious and we have had them for over two years now too.  The case is still open and once again God is doing a new thing in this situation so we have no idea what to expect or what is coming from it all.  But we love them and they are precious and we do trust that the same God that was faithful to us in the past will be faithful to us in the present and future so we STAND on the fact that we TRUST him.  

In the blog for fun sake we will Call Baby number one "Monni" and Baby number two "Dimples."  Monni is currently age 2 and Dimples is age 1 years old.  We love these babies so much and are so grateful for them and what they have been in our lives.  Just wanted to give an introduction so we can really dive into some funny stories in the Bumbaugh Household.  

Above is Champ  - the one that brought the gift of healing.  Below you see the boys Dimples and Monni!  These precious babies help make up what we call family!  

The below picture is after much healing and much time passed and the girls came back to visit us at our house with their new family.  This picture is just a good reminder to me of how happy that day was and how much we loved these beautiful little girls and now their parents and brother too.  God is good but you can see why with this many in my house I didn't get to keep up with blogging really!  :)
