Baptized!!

Sunday was a day of much celebration!! Thank you to everyone who came out to take part with us! The wounds of the last 6 months needed some closure and Sunday was it!! 

Side note: Bry wanted P baptized months ago and I wanted to do June (when all the "ick" has died down.) Please take note of our great marital compromising skills. March 30th!! Bam! If you're engaged to be married and need counseling CALL US!! 

We have kept Piper on "lock down" since leaving the hospital -- I feared how she would take being exposed to the masses. (She's seen the girls at the lab more times than her Great Grandma's.) Turns out she's a people person!! Gee, wonder who she gets that from?? 

She was THE BEST little girl in church. She sat quietly in her carrier until it was her time to shine!! 

I wish everyone could have worshiped with us on Sunday!! I was not nearly the hot mess I thought I would be!! Thank you Jesus!! 

There was a super touching moment after the service. Our drummer came up to us and handed me his drum sticks! He said he didn't know what Piper would do with them, but he felt God urging him to give them to her. On them Harold wrote "stick with Jesus Christ." (Insert tears here!!) We have been practicing!! 2nd CRC praise team here she comes!! 

The drum sticks weren't the only things she got for her special day!! I think she is the only 4 month old with a flock of chickens!! Yes, you read that right!! A flock of chickens!! Her Great Aunt Judy bought a flock of chickens for a poor village in her name!! Here she is with her flock of chickens notice!! So fun! So cool! So sweet!

Piper received SO many memorable things in honor of her officially joining the family of Christ!! Thank you everyone for the gifts and sweet cards of celebration!! Her friends the Cebelak's made a donation to the HDCH Congenital Heart Foundation!! Thanks friends for helping save other babies just like Pippi!!

And the triplet cousins were once again gathered!! Such a blessing to have so many littles!! Even if none of them look at the camera while trying to take their picture!!

We head to the cardiologist at the end of this month. This will be three months from our last visit. (An ETERNITY in heart years!!) Please pray that everything looks perfect and that she continues (despite her rocky start) to be a heart rock star!!

We have some other sweet little heart babes on our radar right now too!! Please join us as we pray for Amelia (her aorta,) Charly (pulmonary arteries,) and Easton (following OHS!!) Each situation is very different - but nonetheless heavy on our hearts right now!!

In Christ alone - my hope is found - firm through the fiercest drought and storm!!

Thank you for letting the heart baby prayers rise!!
