Brooklyn, meet your Big Sister!

We got to take Reagan in to see her baby sister. I think it went great, and she was excited to see her! "Mommy, I take Baby Sister home to my house now, please?!" Then again, she was just as excited about the IV monitor next to her bed that had a screen and buttons she wanted to push.

She liked how soft she is. :)

Here, she is singing Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer to Brooklyn. Oh my goodness, be still my heart! David got some of it on video...

Our first picture as a family of four! Can't believe we now have "girls!"
R is only allowed to visit on Wednesdays and Sundays. We'll see how that goes... I have a feeling she won't understand that. But hey, today went great! Oh, how I love my sweet angels!

I'll update any new info tomorrow. As for now, B is enjoying her morphine (who doesn't?!) and resting peacefully. R is home with my parents and Adam and Missy, resting peacefully. David and I hope to do the same here pretty quick. As much as you can at a hospital! Thanks for checking in on us! Oh, and it is currently SNOWING outside my window!!! How fun is that?!

Perfect!!! This little Brookly is "Perfect in His Sight". I love her for her ability to brave and strong for so many even when she doesn't know that she is. She is teaching all of us so much in her 2 days here. She is well known by many!!! She is reminding us that we have a pretty incredible God. She is blessed to be a part of such a God believing family. We know that he has gotten you through this. We praise him for all that he has accomplished with her. I can't wait to see many more miracles thru her!!! Love you guys bunches!!! Still praying for all of you!!!
Eph 6:10 says "Be strong in the Lord and in His MIGHTY POWER!!!"
That's what you and David have done!! Thank you!

Nice! If you gotta be at the hospital, at least you can look out your window and see snow! :) (It snowed for about 5 minutes here yesterday)

The 2nd picture made me tear up!! I think it is so sweet to see R reaching down touching her new baby sister! :) Love it!

I'm so glad that today was a good day.

Try to get some rest tonight!! We'll check in on you tomorrow

Loved your "first family" photo! I'll try to get my techie friends to figure out how to save it to my flash drive so I can print out some pics for Granddad.

So glad the surgery went well and praying for a fast recovery so the "new family" can all go home together!

Those are great pics...
I am so jealous of the snow, fun!! I bet Adam and Missy thought they were escaping that weather from Amarillo and never expected to see it in Houston. Aaron called tonight to see how yall were, they said to tell you they were thinking about you. Sorry I have not called... I have thought about it a million times but just feel like you ahve so much going on right now. Lots of people there and I am sure lots of people blowing your phone up all the time! Still thinking about you and will call this weekend.
