What a Glorious Day

What a Glorious Day. God is so good. Despite all that has gone on these last few months and especially this week, today was a true blessing from God. Sarah is doing great. The baby is doing great. Just look at the pictures, don't they look so relaxed? Sarah was a real trooper today. Her spirits were high despite not sleeping last night. We certainly praise God for this successful day. Thank you SO MUCH for praying for us. I believe your prayers were an intrical part of the surpassing peace we felt.
