a happy new year...

We hope everyone had a wonderful New Year's Day today! My grandparents and aunt came in from Pennsylvania for our "Family Christmas" and traditional New Year's sauerkraut and pork. It was truly a wonderful day. I am always so grateful for time with family.

Lily is quickly losing her last chances to come on her own :) Tomorrow morning Lisa's boyfriend Adam heads back to Colorado, Matt's mom flies in from Philly, and Matt and I head to the hospital, checking in at 8 am and hopefully having Lily tomorrow afternoon or evening! We absolutely covet your prayers, and have been so grateful for all of the prayers and deeply encouraging emails and letters. The Lord has been so faithful to us this entire journey, and I just don't know how I could go into this delivery and parenting without the confidence that He will be our strength and at the center.

Thank you so much for your prayers tonight and tomorrow...We will be sure to post an update as soon as we have one!

"But as for me, I trust in You, O Lord,
I say, 'You are my God.'
My times are in Your hand.
Be strong and let your heart take courage,
All you who hope in the Lord."
Psalm 31
