ugh. i literally have a physical response when I look at those pictures. i am just now beginning to have the hope, time & emotional/mental energy to begin to recover from the tidal wave that was my pregnancy and post partum experience. however, I am SO thankful to be here and not there! Evangeline whose name means good news/gospel has revealed nothing less as our friends all over the world watched and cheered for this little miracle. today i am so incredibly grateful for how far she has come! i truly cannot believe how well she is, and i am so proud. God has been so kind to our family and shown us so much about His grace and faithfulness (as i bucked & wrestled with Him, i might add) through Evangeline. He has blessed us through you, thank you for checking in and thank you for your prayers and love! :)
