A Blessed Easter

We are so blessed this Easter to have held little Emily in our arms. To look at her and realize the miracle that she is, has been overwhelming at times. We praise and thank our risen Lord for the life of this precious little girl.
We certainly have a new understanding of all the time and effort that goes into the care of Em.

Her last weight (Friday), was 7# 6oz. Coming home to her family has been a good thing!
Look at her sweet little face!
All dressed up in her Easter outfit.
Daddy's turn at feeding.

Just a little comparison...
Big sister is a very busy girl these days.
It was so much fun to watch her find the eggs hidden in the back yard
A little help from mom
I found another one!
We had a wonderful time together with M&B and their family.
Then we got to spend some time with our grandson (staying overnight at his other grandparents home, so his parents could have some R&R before baby brother is born).
It is so fun to hear him talking now, putting several words together and using his imagination as he plays. It is hard to believe that only two years ago he was just a newborn!
We are so happy that we can have these times together with our grandchildren and enjoy watching them grow up. Time goes by so fast. We thank God for all that He is doing and will continue to do in the lives of our sons and their families. We miss having our two younger boys so far away, but love to hear how God is using them in the places that they live and work.
Happy Easter to all!
