Update June 2011

Well since my last post our lives have really turned upside down. In March we welcomed our third child, a beautiful baby girl. Baby Mila Aibhlinn has joined the Morris clan and her sweet disposition and contagious smile captivate our wild and crazy boys. Shortly after her arrival, Cody, my husband took a job in Baton Rouge, LA, and we will be moving mid June. We will be leaving all our therapists, clinics, doctors, friends and all that we've fought to get. But, not for nothing. We believe that God is leading us to Louisiana and what he has in store we do not know. Like our move to Des Moines from Lincoln, we were very uncertain. We thought we were taking a huge risk, but moving to Des Moines was the best thing that has ever happened to our family thus far. We have been so richly blessed in every way. Sully and Lochlan would have never had the services, therapists or opportunities if we hadn't taken a step of faith and jumped. So, we stand at the edge again. Trusting in a God that we serve, that this leap could be the best thing that has ever happened to us. We ask for your prayers, for wisdom and faith, that the transition would go smoothly and that the boys we survive all that is unstructured and chaos. So far it has been very hard on them. To leave the relationships they worked so hard to make, to leave all that is safe and dependable for uncertainty and disorganization. We ask for prayer for Cody and I so that we have God's unconditional patience and resilience in this time of tantrums, stimming, rules and rigidity.  We are very sad to leave our friends and church family behind. I can only hope that we will build friendships and supports in Louisana like we have had in Des Moines.
