We Made It!!

We made it!!  Baby is still in the belly and we are here!  (Whew!)  Elizabeth and I landed late Tuesday night.  A  couple of really amazing things happened as we traveled here…but that will have to wait for another time. We went to the Gem today and hung out with the sweetest Gems ever. This…

You Love Big

I sure wish I could spend my days traveling the country, hugging and thanking each of you for your generous showering of love and provision for Emma and Josh!  You guys are completely incredible!  You all shower so well!
