It has been a sweet reminder of God's faithfulness and provision as I've read about your journey. My prayers are with you and my fourth grade class will be praying as well. Can't wait to see pictures of Gwen in your arms!

CONGRATULATIONS to your family!! What an amazing and wonderful thing you are doing! May God bless you richly as you all travel this new road together. Some of our best friends will be doing exactly what you are doing this summer- I have been sharing your blog updates with them as Sarah shares them with us, and we have all been excitedly following the story toghether! You two seem like brand new parents- so much love to give. All six of you are in our prayers. May you have a wonderful Christmas with your new little one! I know Aunt Sarah and Uncle Shann are very excited to meet her!
In Him, Sharra and Ryan
