On August 17th, our dear Lily Grace was born. We have had an
eventful first three weeks together, but the long days and nights have been
precious ones as N, Lily Grace, and I get to know each other and establish our
identity as a new family. The road so far has not been an easy one, but it has
been a blessing. Almost every morning, tears of joy fill my eyes as I look at
our little miracle: a beautiful, healthy, spunky, funny, sweet, snuggly little
girl.

We have had a lot of help so far, all of it very needed and
appreciated! Many thanks to all of the friends and family members who have been
so kind to us, especially Lily Grace’s grandparents! She is a very blessed
little girl already.
I’ve attempted to describe bliss many times on this blog,
but today I can truly say that I now really know what it is: holding my baby
girl after 9 months waiting to see her face.
I am overwhelmed with love for her, for N, and for our family as we all
grow together and look ahead to the full, bright future that lies ahead of us. God
is so good and we cannot praise him enough for this one-of-a-kind gift!
