A suit-able answer to prayer

David loves to wear a suit to church, just like Daddy.  His suit from last winter was definitely way too small (I know all kids grow fast, but seriously...this kid is unbelievable.  I swear he grows measurably week to week!).  I have been watching -- and have even had friends watching -- Goodwill, garage sales, consignment sales, eBay, etc, for a new suit for him ever since the spring...all to no avail.  He has been very patient, but was feeling wistful that it was fall and he didn't have a suit like Daddy's.

Without boring you with all of the details, a few weeks ago I found a suit at a garage sale.  The size tag was missing, but other than that, it looked brand new.  There were NO other boys' clothes in his size range, but I took a chance and paid the $4 for it.  When I brought it home and tried it on him, I immediately choked up...it was perfect.  A direct answer to the prayers of this mama's heart.  What a joy to share with the kids that our God cares about even the little details in our lives...like a new suit for a little boy to wear to church...

...and doesn't Abigail look like a darling little schoolgirl?!  How do they grow up so fast?!

(...note David's missing tie...this picture was taken after church, and it was amazing that he had this much clothing left on by the time he gets home...as much as he loves to wear his fancy clothes, he enjoys stripping back down just as much!!!)
