Matt and I wanted to share one of our favorite moments with all of you. This picture was taken as Ivey arrived home from the hospital. (That is a bow in her hair!) Many of you have heard the story of Knox telling us that he was going to have a baby sister-Matt and I did not know that we were already pregnant with Ivey. He was so excited that his baby sister was finally home. Walker, on-the-other-hand, had no idea that he had a baby sister-until this moment. They are both very observant little boys. Knox informed me one day in the hospital that he was going to tell the doctor that Ivey needed another hole in her nose. (So it is okay to look and ask questions. We will all make since of this in our own way.) Knox and Walker love Ivey very much and they tell her so constantly. Walker loves to peek into her crib. If we are holding Ivey and she is in kissing range, he loves to kiss her. I am sharing this to let you all know that Ivey brings happiness to the boys. Knox and Walker do not know that their life with their baby sister is different from their friends. We want all of you to share all of the wonderful times with us too. There will be many great times. You have all been very gracious to our family. The result can be seen on the faces of these precious babies. G

Your friend Jennifer directed me to your site, and I've been reading your updates ever since. Our baby girl has some health problems, too, and we are waiting for her open-heart surgery, which should be soon.
So I feel a bit of a connection to you and your precious baby girl, and continue to pray for your family:)
And by the way, our two boys look to be about the ages of yours. Isn't it so fun to have someone to buy pink for now?? :)
Gwen- I love the picture! Thanks for sharing. Ivey is so blessed to be surrounded by so much love.
Matt and Gwen,
You are very blessed with a beautiful family. We all know that God works in mysterious ways and he has proven that to us once again by blessing you with Ivey. Knox and Walker look so loving toward their little sister and it is great to hear the stories that you have shared with us. I will keep checking in on your family and praying for each of you.
