Birthday Week!

Not only did our Ellie celebrate her birthday this week, but today is my brother Brice's birthday!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BRICE!  He's still deployed with the Navy, but we're hoping to see his family this summer.  His sweet baby girl Arden turns one tomorrow, the 26th.  Isn't she a cutie-pie?

You may remember me sharing about Arden's struggle with SVT (supra-ventricular tachycardia, rapid heart rate).  She has a cardiologist appointment today.  Can you offer a prayer for good results for our sweet niece?  We're hoping she won't have to undergo surgery for an ablation procedure for her heart.  I'm also praying for my sis-in-law Allison as she goes through all of this with a deployed husband.  Military wives are amazing!

Here's Arden and her big sis Addison!  We can't wait to see these sweet girls (and their parents, too) this summer!  We haven't even met Arden in person yet :(  Isn't it ironic that God gave both my brother and me a baby with a heart condition?  May their needy hearts help to remind us all of how much our hearts need Jesus!  And just how much he loves each of His children.

Happy Birthday, Brice and Arden!  Sending hugs and prayers your way today!
