What a Gift!



This fall, we are most thankful for Allie, our precious gift. A lot of things were put into perspective yesterday when we got a knock on our door. A neighbor came to ask for prayer for a couple who live down the street. Their two-month-old died Sunday night. We don't know any details other than the baby was crying and all of a sudden stopped. How scary.

During Allie's fussy time last night (which is much shorter now than it once was), neither of us got annoyed. Tony told Allie she could cry all she wanted, and I agreed. What a blessing that we have a three-month-old daughter who is healthy, happy and alive. She is a precious child, and we have learned not to take her for granted. Life is very fleeting and can be snuffed out in the blink of an eye.

Please pray for this young couple. I cannot imagine how terrible this time must be for them. But, they do have an amazing support group through their church, the school and their neighborhood.

As you pray for them, please continue to pray for Allie's health and well-being.

Below are a few pictures from today. We had a great morning. I sat Allie up for a while while she played with her fox and worm. She is quite a cutie and continues to grow each day. She has just this week begun to squeal--it's so cute!
