Wow!

Could you hear the boys jumping up and down and screeching last night all the way in Alabama? Could you hear the tears that hit the hard wood floor as they streamed down mine and Richard's faces? Could you hear the laughter and the unbelievable blessing that was bestowed upon us? Could you just feel the excitement in the air?


Boy I could.


I have been dying to blog about
THIS since last night when I had the wonderful opportunity to talk to Janice over at

Mom Blogs


Be sure to go read the wonderful post Janice wrote about our family. It is amazing.

*****Grab some Tissue*****

We feel extremely blessed that we were chosen to receive this wonderful gift by everyone at 5 minutes for mom. God is so Good all the time. Richard is elated. Now those long days at home alone and the 2 weeks stays in the hospital, well... they might just be a little more tolerable for him.

Thank you to everyone that went over there and put a good word in for us. I can't tell you how much it meant to know that ya'll thought we were deserving enough.

Kori that is so wonderful! I went over and voted for you and saw Andrea's nom for Reece's Rainbow (which is an organization I'll be posting about later today) and was worried you weren't going to get it. I know your husband deserves it and I'm glad she decided to turn it down.

Happy Day girl! Hugs and prayers!
