Thad’s First Soccer Tourney

We’re ambitious/crazy. 2 weeks after Ollie was born, Jas is coaching Thad’s soccer team in their first ever tourney-The Wasatch Cup! Jonas played in it as well. 

Things looked a bit different w/ Covid-masks, spacing etc & w/ a newborn-I only made it to half the games. The whole family (Patzicia & Gma & Gpa) made it to the Final. Thad’s team took second. I was the mom driving around the parking lot w a puppy & baby in tow while the rest of the fam made the medal ceremony. I’m here for it any way. It was memorable. 

Thad has a couple awesome games too! One where he scored 3 times! The last goal was seconds before the end of the game to tie it!

He’s Here!

Our little guy is here. He made it!  All 8lb 10 oz of him. He’s perfect. Really, he’s a miracle!  

We believe his name is Elias Oliver Wright. He came in the night of August 3. Born at 11:16pm. 45 minutes after we arrived!  Jenn floated around in the pool for hours just trying to relax through the contractions. 

When it got later she jumped in the hot tub. 

We have been waiting a long time for his arrival.  This child was no accident. His time is absolutely divinely appointed.  Sure, we would have loved for him to come 4 years ago. We are a bit older and the gap is bit larger between Jude and Ollie.  The Lords timing often looks different than ours.  In that spread between Jude and Eli/Ollie, we wondered if Jenn could get pregnant again. On top of that, we have experienced 2 failed adoptions and 2 failed in-vitro attempts... and then he came. He’s a miracle!
