The Ultimate Valentine's Day Gift

Friends,

We had a wild and wacky, fast and fun Valentine's Day. I had a good and busy day in Stephenville, while Kim and the kids helped down at Jim & Anita's floral store preparing and delivering flowers and flower arrangements. (Imagine that, delivering flowers on V's Day
:-)...trumped only by Mother's day for busyness, as I now understand it). The best news of the day came five weeks early as our friends Jeff & Sara had their baby girl, Aubrey Grace...wonderful news! We have all been praying and waiting for this precious little one to come, but no one expected her to come so soon (as the due date was March 19th). This family has experienced some significant trials in the process leading up to the birth of baby Aubrey, so we are ever so grateful for her safe arrival. Gpa and Gma, Dennis & Bonnie, were glowing last night as were the many other family members and friends who stopped by for a visit to the hospital. Because she is early, they have taken some necessary precautions for the next couple of days...so, keep the family in your prayers. I am so thankful to the Lord for new arrivals...and tis the season -- our friends Joey & Mandi welcomed baby Jake a couple of weeks ago, and our friends Chad & Jenny and Toby & Jennifer are also expecting soon. Keep all of these families in your prayers in their times of transition. God bless,

Don
