We're doing ok.

Thanks to all of you who have called, dropped by, made food, emailed, and prayed for us. We feel the love of all of you! We so appreciate you. Our hearts are broken, but we're overwhelmed by the support we've felt. Thank you.

We are sad today, but the shock is over. We are trying to make sense of all of this and we're trusting God for as much as He'll share with us at this time. My parents drove up last night and my sisters and their families came this morning. We have had a good day together.

We found out yesterday that two other baby boys from the transition home are in the hospital too. Please pray for them as well.

We may be sad, but we are not without laughter in this household. Today, as we were eating some snack size Snickers, Tiel commented that the Snickers have gotten smaller. I said, "It's because of the rising food costs." Dan replied, "We need a billion dollar Snickers bail out."

Thank God for a little laughter. :)
