Families are like fudge

Saturday, May 24, 2008

Some of my blog readers probably don't know about Brayden ... last June, my brother-in-law & sister-in-law lost our little nephew, Brayden, at about 37.5 weeks gestation. It was completely devastating (as you can imagine) and it's been an amazingly difficult year.

The wonderful news is - yesterday Sarah & Johnny gave birth to a KICKING, SCREAMING baby boy (ok, more like silent and sleepy LOL) named Seth!! We are SOOOOO excited that he's here and while we love Brayden and will never ever forget him, we are overjoyed that Sarah & Johnny have a bring-home-baby this time!

Here are some pics from the hospital today :)

I SOOOO wish I could kiss his face! He is such a blessed baby to have such an awesome family!
I hope this next year is full of healing and blessings for all of you!
Brayden is an angel who will always be close in all of our hearts, he made a monumental difference in all of our lives!
Love you!

Congrats on both of the new babies, Auntie Karah! Seth enters the world with a guardian angel looking over him. What a blessing he is to help heal the broken hearts, not to replace Brayden, but to fill those hearts with joy again.
