This was our "surprise" from God. We thought we were finished having kids. When I got
pregnant with "Lizzie" we were homeless - living in a travel trailer with no running water or electricity.
I found out I was pregnant in the
porta potty!! I did a pregnancy test in a
porta potty, I still can't even believe that is true! I did not cry, I think I just laughed, not from joy, but from shock. It felt unbelievable. We had sex ONE time the month before - ONCE!! Ta
Da!!
I got very ill while pregnant with Lizzie. Today, I am still not as strong as the woman I once was. BUT - I have come so far, and God has taught me so much through those rough years. Look at this precious Child - Elizabeth
Tonda Grabbe - I would do it all again in a heart beat!!
I may not have known exactly what I needed. I did not know how much joy this kid would bring into my world! She has been sunshine through many dark days - not just for me, but for the entire family.
She is a complete joy and blessing!! I am VERY grateful that God decided to send her my way. I feel very honored, humbled and blessed to be her mother - Thanks, God!!!

I just love that little Lizzie of yours! I can tell how much joy she brings your family!!
Sometimes blesings just get lobbed at you when least expect it, don't they? That's a great story, and I especialy like the first photo.
ut I'm trying to overlook the fact that you just told us you had sex only one in a month. I do believe that would kill me.
What a great Example of how one should feel about their children!
A gift from God.
OX to Lizzie.

Citizen - UM you should know we were living with friends, in a very small house - the ONE time that month was a miracle!

Effervescent,Exuberant,Ebullient Elizabeth!! I particularly like the picture with the black & white notes dress. The red really sets off her features!
