our lily flower

She is so darn cute!
AND, big progress: Lily has slept ALL night, through the night, for the last 5 nights! She goes to bed at 8:00 and sleeps until 6:00 AM! We're getting more sleep now than we were when I was pregnant and she was kicking all night. We fully recognize that this is a miracle and are thankful!
She is SUCH a happy girl. What a realization comes with parenthood: that WE might be a true pleasure to our Father. Just our sheer company has the capacity to give Him joy...our actions the ability to make Him proud of us, pleased with us. Lily gives us so much joy, just by being who she is, and I give that to God, as well. I've never wanted to be such a good daughter for Him!
More exciting news: we've just learned that Lily's new cousin is a boy! Laura is 17 weeks pregnant!
