Nephew is Here

Great News!

Nephew has arrived. I really wanted to write here and say thank you because in that crazy five days where we thought he had Spina Bifida, many of you were praying for him. I am so thankful for your prayers, and so thankful to know that my precious nephew is here and well!

I am so very, very thankful for this Community.

Love Aunty Grey :)
