Welcome to the world baby Reese!

    Sweet baby Reese arrived safe and sound early December 2. She's perfect! 7 lbs. 15 oz. 20 inches long. We are in a world of happiness and super sadness. We're beyond thrilled for her adoptive family and we look forward to watching her grow from a healthy distance. We can't sing the praises of Rachel enough, she's amazing and has sacrificed more then most girls her age could ever imagine. 

 

 

I have no words!

    We definitely didn't envision this event for our 18 year old son, but life throws curve balls and thank goodness for opportunities to grow and for miracles to occur. This gift for Reese's adoptive family is truly priceless and we're so glad there are silver linings even in the midst of sorrow.

We couldn't wait to meet this sweet baby girl! 

 

 

 

 

 

    And then there's the Christmas tree. Thank goodness we had Beau to help with the star and decorations.

Beau saw the star and said, "I can put that on the tree when Papa lifts me up." Definitely! (In 10 years we'll have to recreate this photo for sure. Ha ha.)

And look at the cute coats Isaac bought the dogs. 

    Definitely a big week! We are happy baby Reese is here and pray for continual peace for all who wish things could have been a little different. Maybe another day!
    And 17 sleeps until Christmas!
