A Little Piece Of Heaven.....

We have been blessed with a little piece of heaven!  We are so excited!!!  A new baby boy will be joining our family and we couldn't be happier!!!  He was born Friday night, weighing in at 5 lbs. 13 oz and 18" long!  Due to some complications with his mama, she needed to be induced 3 weeks early.  We knew there would be some health challenges (cleft lip, cleft palate, Dandy Walker Variant) but after he was born, it was discovered he also had a few patches on his heart that needed repaired.

At this point, we believe he will be flown to OHSU in Portland tomorrow.  We are hoping to join him there for his surgery in a couple of days.  We will stay with him as long as we can (school starts in a week for some of our kids) and then hopefully he will be home in 2-3 weeks!

This whole process has been nothing short of a miracle.  We were not looking to adopt but when we read the post that they were looking for a family for a very special baby boy right here in Boise, our hearts were touched in a way that we knew we could not ignore.  I will write more about the process later. but for now I just wanted to update what was going on in our lives!

Everyone is so excited and can hardly wait for him to come home so they can love him and cuddle him!!!!
