Circle of Life...

Isn't she precious!!! Well it's been almost a week now and we're still surviving. Actually I'd say we're more than surviving...we're thriving. Yes Beth and I are a little tired but that comes with the territory. Nobody told me our house would turn into a disaster area though. I was expecting a little disarray but nothing prepared me for this.

We did hit one little hiccup. Donavyn was a little jaundiced this weekend so we had to take her back to the hospital. We did get our room back though, the room we were in when this little adventure called parenthood all started, room 19, Providence Hospital. One more stay there and we get our name on the door.

Anyway we stuck her under the lamps and 24 hours later she was right as rain!!! Beth and I entertained ourselves making Star Wars references to carbonite freezing chambers and Storm-Troopers.

Look at her goggles and tell me she couldn't be working for the Empire!!































Here by special request is a foot picture. We love you!!!

Look at that "beautiful GRANDDAUGHTER" and she has that llittle head turned just right so that PawPaw can nibble on her ears. Man it sure is tough not being there and holdng her!!! Isn't God so good! He has blessed you because He knows your love is pure and you will teach Donavyn and Gabriel of Him and His Son, Jesus. I believe that you will soon hear wonderful news to bring Gabriel home. Then Grandma and I will be there soon to love on them both. Love you all, PawPaw

She is absolutely gorgeous! I laughed at loud seeing the star wars pix. She reminded me of a glow worm- remember yours, Beth? She has long, skinny feet! Sure wish I was there or you were here or something! Just want to wrap her up in my arms! I remember those cuddle times being the most relaxing experiences! Enjoy every single minute! I love you all!

You know, she probably isn't going to appreciate the comparison photo when she's a teenager...but- that is too FUNNY! She needs a blankie to hold in her other hand while she sucks her finger (Remember- Makayla used to do that). Thanks for the picture of her feet, give them a smooch for me! I wish I could be there, maybe I'll stow away in mom and dad's luggage. Sending lots of love your way, Becca, Brian, Makayla, & Olivia
