How great is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you, which you bestow in the sight of men on those who take refuge in you.
God is so good! When we started this journey a few months ago we didn't know how he would provide but were confident that our God is faithful to equip us when he has called us. We are so excited to report that we have met our first two goals and we are about a month ahead of where we hoped to be.
Emily just returned from a four day weekend in Colorado with our dear friends Elijah and Melissa. It was a wonderful time of refreshment and encouragement in the Lord. They were able to share ideas on parenting and pray together for each of their children. We are so looking forward to the day we get to bring home our new baby! Over the years we had passed on our out grown baby clothes on to Melissa and Elijah for their children and they blessed us with some adorable little unisex outfits, sleepers and a beautiful crib bedding set.
Thank you so much for your support.

Well, Baby Reynolds, this is Grammie Deni and Papa Doug. We are praying for your birth mommy and you to have a safe and healthy pregnancy and birth. We are also praying that you will come to know your Heavenly Father early in your life, so that you can live a wonderfully joyful and Godly life. We love you already and can't wait to meet you, hold you, and sing you a lullaby. God is already planning your path, sweet baby, so until we meet- sweet dreams and happy swimming. xoxo
