Beyond Measure

Soooo who's ready for the little announcement I teased a few days ago?? It's actually not little, it's basically the biggest, most exciting thing I'll ever be able to share here. It's so big, in fact, that I think it deserves some fireworks...

...or some flowers...

...or maybe a sweet fluffy puppy...

...all things that are sure to give you warm fuzzies inside. But none, I can assure you, that can compare to the feeling of having one of these inside.

Less than two weeks after this pensive post, God was answering the cry of my heart and creating a beautiful new life -a miracle, the answer to our prayers- for me and JD to nurture and protect and teach, and most of all to love. I hope we're worthy of the honor. We are blessed beyond measure.

P.S. Thanks to the few of you who knew the news and kept the secret :-)
