It is finished

Today I am happy to announce Oscar Reid Carnahan is an officially and legally recognized member of this Carnahan Family!!!

The courts are finally catching up to the knowledge we have had for a few months now. Oscar has been a Carnahan for a while now. Even in the NICU we saw his stubbornness, and the Carnahan one eye peek, just like Titus, Daddy and Grandad. Oscar fits right in the mix of this family. A good baby. Easier than Elsa, but maybe not as easy as Titus. Titus and Elsa love on him constantly. We have to ask them to give him space. And to leave him alone while he sleeps.




Oscar,
 We have loved you and prayed for you for two years now. God knew when you would be born and where you would grow up. He knit you together in your mothers womb. The tapestry of your life has been woven into the tapestry of our lives. Our threads are forever intertwined. We love you, and we are thankful for this day of finalization.



Psalm 139:13-18 ESV (emphasis mine)

"For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was non of them. How precious to me are you thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! If I would count them, they are more than the sand. I awake, and I am still with you."
