Michaela & Nate loving on Nutty while we were away

Stopped on our way home from Helen in Cleveland to go to church.  It was in the basement of a home.  What a blessing to be with 25 incredible humans!  Mom & I shared our testimonies and Dad got to accompany the music rather than them pushing a button for the song.  My first time doing church in a home, so cool!  Oh and the cute dogs were barking while we walked in and out;)

Our First Grandbaby ~ Kooper

 Kurtis & Kristen went into the hospital on Sunday evening, and the adventure began....

LeAnn witnessed one of the toughest and most beautiful experiences of her life. She had the privilege of being in the delivery room and watching a birth for the very first time. It was incredible and heart breaking and everything inbetween. Kristen is a rockstar and handled almost 40 hours of labor, many hours of pushing, and a c-section, with determination, perseverance, and grace. 

 Kurtis was so cute and tender with her every step of the way. These 2 are amazing parents and it’s so fun to watch them love on their sweet baby Koop. 

 A few takeaways....

Our amazing kids do hard things and are beautifully figuring out their own unique path.

In awe of the instant connection a new baby brings to families. 

God is in the details of our lives and tender mercies abound when we look for them.

Being a Mema & Pop is the best!

Kato meets Kooper - Kato LOVES to lick him

Pure heaven cuddling sweet baby Koop

Nutmeg got to meet Kooper, sniffed a little and then ignored him.  Silly Nutty.
