Babies!

It must be spring. Not only are the trees and flowers in full bloom, but it's the season for babies! My friends B & T finally welcomed their firstborn, a boy, into the world in the wee hours of the morning. It was a long and difficult birth for T (which resulted in a C-section), but God was taking care of mother and baby and both are doing well. I popped in at the hospital tonight and got to hold baby G. I've never seen such a big newborn! Ten pounds, 13 ounces! Yikes!

Some other exciting baby news...of the furry, four-legged kind.... I'm going to be an auntie to twin chihuahua/rat terrier dogs! My sister and her husband just adopted a brother and sister and will be bringing them home on Saturday. It will be so fun to visit all four of them when I head to Texas in 9 days!

On a much more serious - and much more joyful - note, our little Hudson received wonderful news at his check-up visit to Seattle. The MRI showed no signs of the tumor and he is cancer free!! It also appears that he is transitioning from reliance on the tracheotomy tube and feeding bag as they were able to downsize these, and he passed a couple swallowing tests as well. It is absolutely incredible to think how far he's come from just a year ago. He's gone from being such a sick little baby to an active toddler. "The Lord is gracious and compassionate...."
