Today I finally got to visit Hope Grace Howard. I say finally because she's 3 days old! I have been so excited about the birth of this baby since the day I found out Carissa was pregnant. It was very difficult for me to wait 3 days to get to see her because of my busy schedule. She is the very adorable daughter of Jaye and Carissa, two very special people in our lives. Carissa used to be the Children's Pastor at our former church. Now they are our hockey buddies and have season seats just to the the left of our seats. She is one lucky little girl to have Jaye and Carissa as her parents. They are incredible people and Hope is just as blessed to have them as parents as Jaye and Carissa are blessed to have Hope as their daughter.
This evening I had the privilege of taking this new family of 3 dinner and get to spend a couple hours holding Hope and loving on her. She is absolutely precious, and that's a great complement from a mother of 2 girls! As the plan stands now, I will be babysitting Hope at least some of the time when Carissa returns to work as a Child Life Specialist. Hope will be a very special part of our lives and we feel so privileged to be a part of her life. We praise God for the birth of this little miracle!
