From Baby Sister to ...


Esther Grace Lilianna Cross
A gorgeous baby girl with spunk
(gets it all from her mom -wink wink)

We are tired, but glad to be home. This was quite the experience, but we have so much to be thankful for. From the people praying to the nurses and doctors caring for us, we are so thankful. Special thanks to Granny and Papaw for lots and lots of help. Through it all we were reminded that God was in control, knowing exactly what we needed.

He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name.
- Psalm 147:4 -


Now, here she is








Definitely Daddy's little girl!





Some special people came to visit us in the hospital ... Big Brothers

What a beautiful name. She is so cute! She has a lot of hair! I am glad to hear that you guys are all back home together. I was looking at all your pictures. And I just love that picture of you Maria standing by the little river with your two boys. That is a great picture. Take Care and get some sleep. :) Oh, I have 4 weeks left! Can't wait to see what this litte baby is...boy or girl???
Love,
Raechel
