so many things to celebrate today

First and foremost congrats to Jennifer and Ryan who gave birth (well Jenn) to a beautiful 7lb 8oz baby girl at 1:30p.m. today! After some pretty intense labor and a virtually natural birth, Jenn is doing wonderful and recovering well. (With the help of lettuce wraps and spicy chicken from P.F. Changs!) I was so proud of Ryan and Jenn! They will be wonderful parents, again, to Mercy Millard! I am so grateful to Christy for taking Madi all day (literally 8am-6:30pm) so that I could be there to support Ryan and Jennifer!

On another wonderful note, Madi is 3 months old today. This makes Mercy and Madi officially 3months apart! I cannot wait to see them grow as best friends. May the spirit of community that we have with Ryan and Jenn and their beautiful children reside in our children as they grow and mature together.  Here are some pictures to capture our day!
