We praise God for everything going well and for the both of us pulling through just fine.
Austin and Ethan seem do be loving their new baby brother! Brayden looks identical to Ethan when he was born. Its amazing!
We thank you all for being so committed to praying for us and
for the huge encouragement you bring to our family.
For those of you who live in Toledo
we plan to be visiting you this Sunday!
A very special thanks to our dear friends
Kent and Marilyn Fannin
for being so generous and watching both Austin and Ethan for 30 hours.
With 4 of their own children this was a huge task and we can't thank them enough.
It truly was a wonderful blessing!
Also a special thanks to ...
Marilyn's mother and sister in-law. Sue and Kelley offered to help watch the boys so
Marilyn could be with us for the birth of Brayden.
It was such a blessing to have a close friend by my side and to have her take most of the photos you've seen.
We also want to thank our friends and staff for the dinners they provided for our family.
What a loving and generous way to give.
Thank you so much!
