TO MY WONDERFUL FAMILY

Oliver and Theo hit it off right away
So tired!
Happy cousins!

I need to say thank you to so many of you who have been so understanding and helpful during this incredibly difficult time in our family. Your calls with prayers and love and just plain encouragement have been so powerful and comforting; you'll never never know how much it has meant to us. THANK YOU! WE LOVE YOU! Please keep the prayers coming..we still need them as this is not done yet. Thanks again.

And then, the Lord in His goodness, gave us Theodore Jeshua! He's such a little sweetie. I started calling him "Theodorable" while we were there this past week. He's such a ray of sunshine! Thank You, Jesus!

A verse that I've been clinging to is: Isaiah 41:13 - For I am the Lord your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, "Do not fear; I will help you." This is a verse that has become very real to me.

Thanks again, everyone!

Here are some more photos of Theodorable!
