I have taken lots of pictures and edited lots of video over the last 10 months and you all have been along for the ride.  This video is made to take you “behind the scenes” of the past month.

I say it in the video, but a HUGE thank you to each and every one of your prayers.  God has truly blessed our family with a great group of people surrounding us and I’m glad to consider you all, whether we have met or not, friends.

As we sat down for dinner tonight, brought to us by the Williams family, we thanked God for awesome friends.  Then Ria said something that really hits home for me.  She said, “so this is what a church family is like.”  We have done this childbirth thing a couple of times, but were not involved in a church at the time.  I’m in awe at the greatness that is in and around the Church that our Savior created.  People have brought us meals enough to feed us for weeks, gifts for Elijah and Ria, stopped by just to say hi…….Why?  Love, that’s why.  That’s what it’s all about folks…..Spread the Love of God to each and every one.  And then there are friends from Twitter and Facebook…..I haven’t even got a chance to read all of the messages yet and that says it all!  You guys and gals own a tremendous part of our hearts!  Thank you!

One last time (who am I kidding…I’ll say it again and again)….THANK YOU!  You have touched our hearts in ways I cannot explain with mere words.

Enjoy the video and thanks for taking this journey with us!!  If you’re like me, go full screen, crank it up and get out the tissues….

Elijah's Birthday

Click his picture and it will take you to a series of pics taken from first thing this morning til right now.  If, for some reason, clicking the pic doesn’t work, look to the right of this post and click on one of the pictures under “Our Pictures” and it will take you to our Flickr site where you can find them all.

Below are the videos we made throughout the day.  More videos to come, I’m sure .

There ya have it.  There are more pics on my phone, but the cord is at the hospital……where I need to be going .

I hope to get around to the, literally, hundreds of you who sent prayers, congrats and well wishes, eventually, but for now, as I’ve said many times today….

THANK YOU!

Praise God!
