Good Morning Sunshine

Last night Madelyn enjoyed being surrounded by family. There was no limit on how many family members could be in her presence. It was special just getting to sit around, holding our girl, and spend time together. There was one little girl that could not wait to hold her baby cousin. She walked in the house grinning from ear to ear. Because of the special precautions that have to be taken at the NICU, Emily had not been able to see Madelyn since we left ETMC on September 29th. The day Madelyn was born, Emily was a nervous wreck. She did not want to do anything (eat lunch or get her birthday pedicure) until she laid eyes on her new cousin. I look forward to many nights of cousin sleepovers, watching the girls play together and hand-me-down clothes of course!!
That is one proud Papa! This morning Luke's parents had to head back home, but not before snuggling up with their first grandchild. Even though their trip was much longer than anticipated for reasons that we would never have wished, it has been great getting to spend time with them. I know there will be many more frequent trips from McAllen and we cannot wait.
Gigi has already planned a weekend trip at the end of October!
Last night Madelyn got some good cuddle time in with her Great Granny!

Here are a few pictures of our pretty little lady from this morning...
Good morning sunshine!!
Madelyn looks so tiny in her bouncy seat. Well...she looks tiny in just about everything. Her newborn clothes just fall right off of her!
She has the cutest sneezes. So far she sneezes in 3's just like her mommy.
She is loving life at home. We are loving having her home. Today we head to the doctor after lunch so there will be an update tonight on what the doctor says. We are so thankful for all of your prayers. We believe that Madelyn's journey is one that speaks of the power of prayer in a way that we personally have never experienced before.

"Therefore, confess your sins to one another,
and pray for one another
so that you may be healed.
The effective prayer of a righteous
man can accomplish much."
James 5:16
