The softness of her skin, the tiny perfection that reminds us that we're indeed "fearfully and wonderfully made." How can you describe the awe of holding a precious baby niece/grandbaby for the first time?!
Its been over a week since we met Joanna -- but as you may have noticed, last week had some delightful surprises for Elizabeth and I. A whirlwind visit to Dan and Bethany's for a week has significantly slowed my blogging. But it was totally worth it. I know -- that's a topic for another blog post!
Back to meeting Joanna... I wish we had a picture of the eager anticipation as we crammed for space in our picture window to watch Josiah and Abi's car pull into our driveway. And of their radiant faces as they were instantly smothered with hugs.
But we do have a few pictures of those precious moments as we met the little girl we'd already fallen in love with!
"She's so tiny!"
We studied each feature and gave our opinions on whether she looks more like her daddy or mommy. We decided she's the perfect mixture of both. Amazing, isn't it?!
Very obligingly, she woke up and showed us her pretty blue eyes.

"I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well."

Sounds like you had such a delightful time visiting precious little Joanna Praise!

Blessings!
Joyfully in Jesus,

She is soooo sweet!!!!
awww, I love these pictures! So precious, what a wonderful, wonderful miracle from God. =)
I see a few of the children were missed, but I doubt that they were 'missed' with the opportunity to hold her! It would be really cute to see a picture of Charissa with Joanna. =)
Indeed, children are a heritage from the Lord and the fruit of the womb is His reward!
Thanks for your comment, Ruth Ann. Yes, we'd all love to have a picture of Charissa with Joanna.
Unfortunately, she's been battling a very nasty cough the past two weeks. For Joanna's sake, Charissa has only been able to see her from a distance. We'd appreciate prayers for Charissa's recovery and wisdom in helping her!
Ahh - she is precious. A miracle from Him alone... It would be really cute to see a pic of Charissa w/ Joanna too! ;)
Glad you're enjoying her, and LOVED the pictures [hint, hint].
Soli Deo Gloria,
Chare
(She has BEAUTIFUL eyes - and I love the picture of her with her grandparents =D).
Oh, and now I see Rachel's comment about Charissa - sorry she's sick! I will pray that she gets better and that no one else gets sick!
Rachel, thanks for letting me know about Charissa! I'm so sorry she is sick, and will definitely add her to my prayer list. hope she gets well totally and quickly!
Love & Blessings,
Ruth Ann

Okay, so this has nothing to do with the baby.....but I noticed how all of you guys have such clear skin! (which is totally unfair) :) so I was wondering....what do you use? Like what do you wash your faces with etc?

Sorry! I forgot the "to".
