A Week of Praises!

This week has been a week of praises all around! Most of you know that back in January when my mom had a complicated number of surgeries, my dad lost his job... it was a whirlwind... and they have really spent the past six months re-cooperating.  It has seemed like an uphill battle, my mom slowly getting better, only to need another surgery this fall... and my dad applying for countless jobs and coming up empty handed.  Well, praise the Lord, because on Thursday, July 12th my dad became employed again!!... and it all was truly better than we could have asked or imagined.  He will be holding a similar position to the one he lost, but will be working for Snyders-Lance (good-bye Frito-Lay!)... my parents did not have to move, and along with the job came a pay increase and a company car.  Truly awesome! They are so excited!

On another note...
Josh's brother, Chris, and his wife, Liz are expecting a baby boy! Their due date was July 16th, so we have spent this past week in anticipation.... anxiously awaiting Baby William!  Friday afternoon we received a call from Josh's mom, that Liz's water broke and they were at the hospital... a little over 12 hours later Baby William arrived.  

1:45am Saturday July 14th, 2012! Baby William! 6 lbs 9 ounces, 19 inches long!
What a day of CeLeBrAtIoN it is! What a week of Praises!

"Praise the Lord! Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!" 

Psalm 106:1

On our way to the hospital!

 The new Dad!
