my boys meet, our team is complete
This is my joy. There is also an incredibly heavy weight that comes with mothering the hearts and bodies of the boys in this picture. The weight is lovely and it is wonderful and it is God-given.
It is a weight, though. And it’s a weight that I cannot carry alone. I need a Savior, I need a Father, and I need a Helper. I can’t help but wonder how much more I’d falter and waver bearing this incredible, beautiful burden on my own.
I have the entirety of God before me, behind me, and beside me. So do you, you know?
Is there a heartbreakingly beautiful thing God has asked of you, entrusted you with? Well, He’s already equipped you through Himself and with all His good gifts.
Romans 11:36 For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.

Beautiful family! Congratulations!
Oh my word, they are adorable. And the hand on the baby doll head is the best! I love their sweet expressions!
Enjoy each moment Hayley. Drink it soul deep!
It goes by soooo,quickly!
Blessings!
Love you and so proud of you. Love those boys.
Yes! The entirety of God! Isn’t it freeing to know that it isn’t all dependent on our frail flesh? Thank you for the reminder.
Congratulations! It’s both heavy and wonderful! Sending prayers of an abundance of love your way!!
I love you, girl. Congratulations!
Super cute picture, Hayley and great words of wisdom. Enjoy mothering those sweet little faces this week.
Beautiful. Love those words of wisdom too. Remembering we aren’t doing this alone is a great relief, isn’t it?
I can’t believe how tiny Eli is! It seems like yesterday it was Asher…who now seems HUGE. Don’t newborns do that?
One day your babe’s bum seems so small and then you have a newborn and that bum (that still needs wiping) turns into the size of a frying pan?
I have a 1 yr old and a 3 yr old and a babe due in April. So I will be going through that again.
Much love, prayers, and hugs to you and your gorgeous family,
Sarah
This is so incredibly precious.
Beautiful! What a sight!
You’re right, the weight is enormous and wonderful. And we need to feel all of that every day!

I can almost feel that weight just by looking at this picture. What an overwhelming and amazing feeling this has got to be for you. I can’t wait to know what this feels like someday. You are a blessed mama!
Amen!
P.S. Your boys are PRECIOUS.
Hayley,
I am looking at this picture and I can’t help but think about how full your heart must feel. They are so precious and unique and so blessed to have a mommy that will parent them and love them thru His strength & grace. Thanks for giving us a picture into your heart and your life.
Love!
Amen….And absolutely adorable. Congrats to you–and no doubt those boys are lucky to have such a wonderful momma.
this photo is positively delicious. congrats, Haley, and thanks for sharing the beauty with us.
Adorable family — congratulations!!
What a beautiful family. This made me tear up as we’re adding baby (and boy) #3 to our family in May. I really can’t wait and although I have some anxiety about all boys, I know that God is with me and will guide me through it all. What a gift!
Absolutely precious. Motherhood has been the greatest struggle + most joyful blessing all wrapped up in one beautifully messy package. Every day I fail + falter. Some days I cry. Always, I can cry out to the only One who can walk me through it all. Thank you for your sweet reminder that we have all things in Him. And big huge blessings + abundant grace on you as you soak in this sweet new season!
What a great way to put it – the joy and awesome responsibility of raising children.
Congratulations on Eli’s safe arrival… this photo is delightful. I love that Asher has his baby too. :)
Wishing you sleep…
Mazel tov on your completed team :) I am sure the Lord will give you grace abundantly along the way. I can only imagine the fun times you have in store :)
