Christmas Eve

It's Christmas Eve and Vicki and I are spending the night in the hospital with our new baby girl Ava.  I am a bit bummed we are unable to be with our family tonight and tomorrow, but we are very excited to have Ava with us now!  As I was walking around the hospital tonight with Vicki, I was thinking about just how blessed we are.  Even though we are in the hospital, we are here with a beautiful healthy baby girl.  So many other people are here because they are fighting to stay alive, we are here however because we are celebrating a new life.  Ava is such a huge blessing to us along with her sister Brie and we couldn't be any happier with the family that God has blessed us with!  Tomorrow on Christmas day we will be bringing Ava home and adapting to life with two children.  There will be many sleepless nights, but I wouldn't trade any of it for the world.  Saying that God is good would be a severe understatement.  He is so far beyond any words we could ever say or imagine.  Merry Christmas!  I hope God has blessed all of you as much as he has us.
