Praise God!!!

Just wanted to update all my prayer warriors on the prayer request I posted yesterday. Our friends' son, Dawson, has been diagnosed with leukemia. They have received the results of bone marrow biopsy and the news is about as good as it can be. He has been diagnosed with a form of leukemia that has a treatment success rate of 90%. It looks like he will hopefully be back home early next week, and will receive his treatments via a port a cath. Tammy and Will are in good spirits, but still need your prayers for the journey ahead. 

More Pictures of Luke

If you're like me, and you can't get enough of Luke, here's some more pictures especially for you! This first one is one of my favorites! Andrea did a great job capturing this beautiful picture...

We sadly said goodbye to Grandma and Poppy this morning. Hopefully we'll see them again in a few months.....


A couple more good pics of his face. I love his expression in the second one! :)


Love you all, and thank you to God Almighty who for now has blessed us with these.

Attention Prayer Warriors......

I know that we have some great prayer warriors in our circle of friends and family, and that is why I am posting this prayer request. Our friends, Tammy and Will Atkins, just found out that their two year old son, Dawson, has leukemia. They are in for a long journey, but are looking to God for peace and strength. They also have two other children, Dawson's twin sister, Bella, and Channing, the twin's baby brother. Please pray for complete healing for Dawson! We know that God is capable of miracles, and they could sure use one right now. Please pray for them.

Some Special Moments

My sister had the fabulous job of keeping John and Kylie busy in the waiting room while I was in labor. Luckily it wasn't too awful long. She used the opportunity to get some special pictures, and the kids kept busy posing for her. Here are a few of my faves.......

Luke is a Week Old!

One week ago today, Luke was born! It has been a great week full of lots of firsts for Luke. The kids are still really enjoying Luke, although John David holds his hands over his ears when the baby cries. But hey, can you blame him? I think John and Kylie were a little disappointed when they realized that he mostly just sleeps and eats right now. But Kylie is definitely in love with her new little brother. She is quiet, but all smiles around Luke. Caitlyn is already starting her "little mommy" role. No surprise there. I am feeling good, and Jeremy and I are adjusting to less sleep. My mom and dad are leaving tomorrow morning, and my sister flies out on Saturday. I'm excited to start getting back to normal life, and I use the term "normal" very loosely of course, but I will miss all the help for sure! Here are a few more pictures from this last week I though you would enjoy.




Luke and his VERY proud big brother!

Luke's first bath........



Luke's first spa treatment! :)

Love you all, and thank you to God Almighty who has for now blessed us with these.

At Home and Doing Well

We have been home for over 24 hours now, and doing well. My parents arrived yesterday afternoon, and that has been a blessing. We are enjoying the new baby, and spending time with family. So far Luke seems to be a very easy baby, healthy, laid back, alert, and a good nurser.We have had some great answers to prayer in the last few days, and for that we give God all the glory! I am doing good too, a little sore and tired, but feeling better all the time. After the delivery, my liver was not functioning properly, but has fixed itself and is doing well now. Caitlyn was present in the room for the delivery, and surprised us all by her maturity. It was a great experience to share with her, and I think it definitely gave her a special bond with Luke. Here are a few pictures that Andrea has taken in the last few days. More to come. Love you all, and thank you to God Almighty who has blessed us with a healthy baby.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUKE JAMES KNUTSON!
