One year ago today...

It's amazing what a year can bring forth.  Last year at this time I was totally exhausted from driving the 2 hour stretch to Charlottesville almost every day after teaching. My mom was in the hospital at UVA in the middle of serious health issues. (Brandon spent his January birthday with her in the hospital just like we had done for Christmas.)  And in the midst of all this, we were going through the process to have our dream of parenthood fulfilled. Admittedly, there were times that I would question the timing, but we knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that God had orchestrated everything to happen exactly at that time. And we are so glad He did.  A year has passed and we are so thankful for our little gift who is currently filling our house with his rather loud squeals. :)
