The Fitzgerald Family: Abandoned to a Call: July 2018

One of the Lincoln’s greatest attributes is that he believes so deeply. He lives with passion. He is all in (just like his Daddy). He trusts the people he loves. I love this about him...but it also terrifies me. I fear his potential heartbreak and disappointment in life. I am so thankful that he has a foundation in Jesus, so that when the storms of life come he will have a faith to hold onto.

In the last year, he went from being the only boy and the baby... to being one of three boys and a middle child. The grace with which he has handled the transition from us being a family of 4 to a family of 6 is amazing. I have never heard him say anything that would allude to the fact that his brothers were not fully welcomed into his world.

Sometimes people will ask what has been the most shocking aspect of our adjustment over the last year and I have to say without blinking that it is the way that the four of our children are TRUE family.

Our Lincoln...

- passionately loves Jesus

- loves playing jokes on people

- loves all sports (he's trying out football for the 1st time this year)

- has a heart of gold (but when he's angry...he's angry! He'll tell you he's working on that though :-) )

His birthday request was to celebrate by going to the Fun Factory in the mall, so that's what we did...
