Last Thursday we were so privileged to finally meet Jillian and her family, Andrea (mom), John (dad), and big sister, Isabel. It was such a surreal experience to meet people we already knew. Andrea and I both felt that we were long-time friends reconnecting after several years. And once again, I’m so grateful for how God works on relationships in a heavenly realm.

There were many touching events that day. I loved watching Andrea and Rhyan interact as Andrea gained insight into where Jillian will be in 5 years. At one point, Jillian’s outer processor had fallen off and Rhyan instinctively placed it back on for her. But, maybe the neatest thing that happened was when I handed Jillian a little chick we brought that chirped. I saw her face react to the noise and I was able to relive those priceless miracles we witnessed with Rhyan.

Isabel and Rhyan became fast friends as they participated in the sacred shoe exchange, and Evynn, true to Evy style, did a pretty good job at keeping up with the big kids. Even John and Matt are amazingly similar, from their sense of humor to the remarkable fathers they are to their little girls.

It was an occasion we'll cherish. And we’re so excited for you to take a glance into our day.
