2 brothers and a sister...

"O give thanks unto the LORD; for He is good;
for His mercy endureth forever."
(Psalm 118:29)


Laylah is certainly one blessed little girl. She has two big brothers who are madly in love with her already. They love to hold her and they are quick to tell you that she is their baby.  They both wanted to hold her yesterday for their first picture all together. So, of course, Ashlie had to let them take turns and they each got their wish. And even though Sawyer was holding her in the first picture, you will notice that Bryton had her feet in his hands. 




Laylah was wide awake for just a little while today when I went to visit.  I took advantage of this opportunity to get a picture with her eyes wide open. She didn't stay awake for long, but I certainly enjoyed holding this little sweetheart for several hours while she slept, and just marveled at the miracle of life in my arms. I thanked God for all 7 of my grandchildren and the blessing that they are to me and to my husband.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The faithfulness of God never ceases to just blow me away. He is the biggest thrill of my life and I am so overwhelmed most of the time by His goodness. He has generously graced me and my family more than we could ever deserve. I thank Him for His sweet mercy upon us and even though we are so undeserving, because of Him we are worthy. We are a family rescued by grace and blessed beyond measure. I pray that we will live our lives for Him and that we will honor Him in all that we do and say. May I forever reverence the magnificent name of the LORD. May I worship Him in Spirit and in Truth.  He is Jehovah. Yahweh. Creator. He is Hashem.

Oh, how wonderful! I am grateful for you and your family that Miss Laylah Beth is healthy and certainly loved! I lift your family in prayer, praying that your daughter is doing fine after this pregnancy.
Hallelujah to our King.

Beth, love all the pictures! How precious are these little gifts from the Lord. The second one (in the middle) of Bryton giving some touching love on little Laylah's head is just priceless!
Enjoy, my sweet friend.
Love,
Miriam

Precious times for Cody and Ashlie with their three children. I can see the love in those two boys' eyes for their baby sister.
