A Miracle!




We have been truly blessed! I (I being, Holly, the only person who actually contributes to this little blog!) am again in the great state of North Carolina, getting our baby back! I know, crazy huh! Have I mentioned how maddening March has been?!? Fortunately for us, the birth mom had a change of heart and decided she did want us to adopt her baby. Words cannot describe how incredibly grateful we are for this miracle! It is an answer to many prayers! It feels sooo good to have this beautiful baby back in my arms!! Baby Lula (we are still working on a middle name) was born early on the morning of March 16th weighing 6lbs 4oz. She is a dream! I send my love and thanks to all our amazing family and friends! Greg and I could not have made it through this with out you! Not sure how long I'll be stuck in N.C. but I hope to see you all soon! Lula and I are both missing her daddy very much!
