Thank you all for praying all the time for her and her family! Prayers are what are getting her through each day and please continue praying! I'll let her give you all the amazing details! What a special day!
It is indeed a special day! Congrats Bonnie! He is so handsome! Can't wait to see many more pictures!!

God bless your sweet family! So glad that everyone is doing well. I know it must be a bittersweet day, but I think it is amazing that Thomas shares his father's birthday.

Congrats! He's beautiful. God Bless.
ReplyDeleteOh, Bonnie, he is so precious. Words cannot explain the joy in my heart even as tears pour down my face. He is here. He is really, really here. What a sweet gift on a special day. I was so fidgety during in-service. I checked my phone and e-mail any chance I could. Then when Dr. Rollins walked up and had a paper in his hand, I just knew. He announced it to the teacher crown just moments before we were dismissed...what incredible timing. And fitting. I am so happy. Know that the prayers will continue because you have a very new "normal" to adjust to. And you have SOOOO many people who love you and are here to help. Call on me/them anytime you need to! By the way, your smile in the picture...it reaches your eyes.

Congratulations!!! I lose track of the dates, but all of the sudden I thought "The 17th??? Thomas should be here!!!"
ReplyDeleteSo incredibly happy for you that he shares that birthday with his daddy...what an amazing legacy it sounds like Thomas has left for little Thomas (and Caroline and you, of course!) and the fact that baby Thomas will always share that special day with his daddy...there just aren't words for how wonderfully appropriate that is.
Congratulations! I have been praying for you all day! He is adorable.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations !! He is truly a gift from God.
ReplyDeleteMay God continue to bless all of your family.

brother.
Congratulations! I can't wait to hear all about this new little bundle of joy!

Bonnie:
ReplyDeleteWhat a special blessing to have a sweet little boy on Thomas' birthday.
I browsed through to see the nursery.
The Sail Boat shadow box is beautiful. I knew the Culps were all
sailors at heart but I did not know that Dr. Culp could carve like that.
Tell him I said it was great. Your name remains on my frig door prayer list.
Thanking and praising God that all is well for now.
