Before we get to far ahead...

I had to take a moment and post pictures from Jocelyn's baby shower in December! Such a fun day of celebrating the life of little Miss Aniston Elise that was soon to be joining us (don't worry--pictures of her are coming!)

(**If you click on the collage of pictures, it will enlarge it so you can see all the pictures up close!)

Aniston Elise Eure


Welcome to this world baby girl. You made your grand entrance today at 4:15pm in Savannah, Georgia. You weighed in at 6 pounds, 6 ounces and you were 19 1/2 inches long. You have dark hair and long finger nails! You are more beautiful than any of us could even begin to dream of. We watched our Jesus answer our prayers once--and you turned a few weeks back so your mommy could deliver you naturally. Then again today you were monitored closely and the doctor gave you one more chance--and 15 minutes--to make your grand entrance on your own. Once more we called on the sweet name of Jesus and in His mercy we watched you come into this world naturally and in your timing...or shall I say His timing. You are marked baby girl. God has great things in store for you and I can't wait to see the wild adventure He has planned for you.


Sleep well baby girl, it's your birthday and we are so glad you are here!

A Year of Many Blessings to Come


Happy Birthday My Munchkin! 27 years ago you graced us with your presence! For a recap of how much you mean to me, we can revisit your birthday blog from last year! Because for this year, I want to do a little something different...and that is talk about what this new year holds for you.


This year holds something different and it's that in you will become a mother. I can hardly believe my little munchkin is old enough to be a mom, but here it is, any day now and I want you to know how proud I am of you! I know without a doubt that you are going to make an incredible mother. God has prepared you for this moment and you are going to do well. You've carried her well. You've taken very good care of her already and we are ready for her healthy debut!

God's word says that children are a reward from Him (Psalm 127) and that is what Baby Aniston is! How exciting! May we all ponder on that for a moment!

In closing, I'd like to pray blessings over you, my sweet sister...

Sweet, sweet Jesus, on this special day, the day of my sister's birth, I ask that you would shower her with your blessings. That she would feel you in a tangible way and she would know how much she is loved by us, but more importantly by You. We thank you for what this year holds for her and Brett. We thank you that you have chosen to bless them with this child and we thank you for Aniston. Lord Jesus, may this year for my sister be a year that she never forgets--the one you called her into motherhood. Your Word says you'll give her everything that she needs and I pray you will remind her of that when it's not always easy. I pray blessings over this family Lord. That abundant blessings from Heaven would flow. It's in the powerful name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
