Pictures of our blessed weekend! (by Cameron)

Couldn't have asked for a better Father's Day or for a better weekend. Sometimes you just move along in life each day, struggling, fighting sin and often wondering how God could ever love you and then.....BAM! He just pours out His love, loads of it. It all started with an incredible labor and safe delivery of Semaiah. As I stated before everything happended as we had prayed it would. Then last night at the graduation banquet for the outgoing residents in our department I received a teaching award from the residents. One of them informed me that the vote for the recipient was unanimous. I was shocked and overwhelmed (and continue to be). Lastly, today was awesome. You would think that taking six kids up to the hospital to see their mom and new baby sister would turn out to be a disaster. It was the furthest from that! The kids were so well behaved. It was a joy to see them excited to meet Semaiah. God is good, abundantly good.....ALL THE TIME!

Before: looking good for #6!

During

After: tears of joy

Laura and Semaiah are both beautiful. I'd say Laura looked great pregnant whether it was her first or sixth! I'm so thankful everything went smoothly and you have a healthy baby girl to love and cuddle. I hope Laura's recovery is quick and they days are slow. They seem to just fly by! Enjoy your little sweety!
