::praises::

we are praising the Lord tonight for crosby's successful surgery.  he is doing great and getting lots of snuggles as we recover.  thank you all...

we are headed back into the hospital this thursday morning.

our littlest has to have a bilateral hernia repair.  

we would love prayer for crosby's surgeon and anesthesiologists.

thankfully, the procedure itself isn't too complicated.  but preemies are notorious for occasionally being tricky in terms of the anesthesia and being extubated at the end of the case.

i am confident all will go well, but i have to admit that stepping foot back in the hospital and spending the night there gives me a pit in my stomach.  i will be thankful for it to be over and for crosby to feel better.

thank you all SO much for your prayers!

crosby vs. the bear...

crosby wins!

see how far we've come...

generations of love.

it is such a beautiful thing...

thank you so much for visiting, mimi and great-grandma pat!

happy birthday, chief!!!

our finn is turning two today.

i can hardly believe it.

but, then, i look at him and can hardly believe he is only two.

he speaks in huge sentences.  has such an opinion.  has such a big heart and a determined will.  he is spunky and mischievous and adorable (and he knows it!).  he keeps us on our toes and gives the most amazing hugs.

our hearts could not love him more.

finn, happy happy 2nd birthday!  we love you more than words and hope that you always know how deep and wide and huge our love and the love of the Lord is for you.

happy birthday, big man!
