Here are some snapshots of our biggest Reitsema family adventure yet: Meeting our little peanut in person and bringing her home for the first time. Thanks so much for loving this precious girl right alongside us, for praying for her health and ours, and for sharing in the gift of brand new life. Enjoy the photo journey!
Oh Lauren she is so precious! What a blessing from the Lord! All my love and all my prayers these next few weeks as you settle in to a new family of three. If u ever need a break, a hug, a meal, someone to wash diapers, or even just cry with I will totally drive North for you!
ReplyDeleteHoping to see you soon... Teresa
Ah!!! Congratulations you two!! What a treat to even get to meet her in photos - can't wait to meet her in 5 months in person!! I was just thinking... the world needs more Reitsemas... so well done!!

What a treat to see all those pictures!! I agree with your mother, Lauren, that Lia is one beautiful baby. I would love to share a beautiful christening outfit with you if you are going to dedicate Lia to the Lord soon. All five of our children used it (We were Catholics at the time). You and Josh look so happy. May God bless you richly and let you get enough sleep in the nights ahead.
ReplyDeleteHope to see you soon and meet Lia in person.
Love,
