Habitat Brunch

Sharing some photos from the habitat brunch. I just saw in the paper that they raised $10k.

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!

Theodore Jeshua Gaalswyk

Here are the pictures I promised!

BABY!

Theodore Jeshua Gaalswyk was born yesterday, Feb. 15, 2011. He weighed 8lbs. 1oz.
Luke and Anna are his adoptive parents and will be bringing him home from the hospital on Friday!
Elizabeth and I are going to Dayton to see him right away and then I'll post pictures.

SHHHHH!

It's a surprise 30th birthday party for Josh at the Red Rooster on Fri., Jan. 28th at 8:30. You're all invited! I hope he doesn't read this!

Grahm

Yeah all. Have been staying at the hospital but wanted to get some pics in front of you. Grahm is looking real good, the doctor just wants to see him establish a good pattern of eating before he can come home. He is now off all of the monitors and can leave the nursery. The doctor projects he will be able to go home in a couple of days.

CONGRATULATIONS ANGIE, KYLE AND GABE!

Graham Virnig was born today around 3:00. He weighed 5lbs. 8oz. and is doing well.
YAY!
