The big ONE!

McKenna turns ONE tomorrow and there are so many emotions that are going through my head right now. I am so proud of her and thankful for the sweet baby that she is and who she is going to be. She is already so amazing and such a joy to our lives and she has only been in our lives for one short year. I know that she will be a great big sister SOMEDAY :) and we are so proud and feel so blessed that God gave us this sweet baby to raise and care for.

I am also in the middle of pretty much a constant state of prayer for my sister-in-law Jennifer and her twin babies. She is 28 weeks tomorrow (Mj's birthday) and still on hospital bed rest. She is literally fighting for her babies lives on a daily basis while I am able to watch my babe turn one. It makes me thankful, sad, hopeful, prayerful, faithful, and so on. I know God has a plan for their family and has already shown his faithfulness to them in so many ways.

If you are reading this thank you for celebrating with us and please keep praying for Kaylan and Dylan.

Another quick prayer while you are lifting up the sweet twins is for one of my best friends, Amy. Her husband, Rex, was just laid off from his job and she is a stay at home mom, they just bought a house and they have 3 children, a 4 year old and 1 year old twins. Pray that Rex can find something relatively quick that he is suited for. He is amazingly talented. He can paint, sculpt, draw, design, etc. So if you know of anything definitely let me know.

Thanks again and until next time!

Tell MJ Congrats! We are so proud of her and you guys too. It definitely does not seem like it's already been a year. Seems like it was just yesterday that ya'll were living in the apartment and running around frantically not knowing what to do. What a difference a year makes. Now you guys have it under control. Great parents.

Also, thank you for keeping Kaylan and Dylan in yours prayers and on this blog. It doesn't look like the twins are going to share MJ's b-day, so praise God.

Thanks again for all the prayers. Happy B-Day McKenner! Uncle L.
