Soaking It All In

Wow, what a day! McDonalds even tastes better today! We just spent the day soaking it all in. We're making a list of the people and places we want to visit before school starts. What an incredibly fun task! The word spread like wildfire around the hospital here. People were stopping in all day congratulating Bailey on the good news. I slept really good last night from 2 to 6 a.m., then I just laid awake staring at the ceiling with a smile on my face. I should've gotten up and gone to breakfast, but I was pretty much worthless. It feels so good to just let it all go and not try to keep our excitement contained to a "safe" level. Every good thing is from God, and we are just simply rejoicing.

I've started cleaning out some of the stuff in Bailey's room to thin things out a bit. Boy, there's a lot of stuff.

Thanks so much for all of the comments posted today. It's great that you are all sharing in our joy. It's an incredible adventure, isn't it? I know it's not over yet, but it's exciting to be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel. And just knowing that there are so many people out there praying for us and riding along in that tunnel with us is such a comfort. Thank you for being there!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Love,
Angie
