Rewarding Day - Day 16



Today has been a very rewarding day for us, as you can see in the pictures! First, we spent a bit of encouraging time with some dear friends from church who stopped in as they were one their way home from a vacation. Next, Autumn’s fever is gone and she has had a really great day! She is now sucking on a pacifier, rooting a bit when her cheek is touched and sucking on her fingers. It was fun watching her perform these very normal baby “tricks!” As you can see, I also got the chance to hold her and help feed her from a bottle! She is only eating 1/6 of an ounce, so it was a quick feed, but it was very worth it. This mom is so enjoying these super special moments! These times are rewards from God!

We are finally all settled in the condo. It is nice to be in a place that feels more like home. It is also nice to settle a bit more because we know it is going to be a more long term location. We are so thankful for the generosity of others through this trial in our lives. God’s provisions have been amazing! We are going to be with praises on our hearts for a great day all around! We are still praying for Autumn’s kidneys to heal. Thank you for all your love, support, praises and prayers! God loves you all and will bless you greatly!
