sweet sunday


Today (Sunday) marks two weeks since Little Logan arrived. It's been a stressful, hectic time but it's also been a couple of weeks of increased faith and prayers.

my favorite place to be Sunday morning...

I love Sundays and look forward to the rejuvenation the "day of rest" has to offer. It's often the best day of my week. Even though Logan's extended family is spread far and wide across North America, he can rest comfortably today knowing that his family is attending church meetings, offering prayers on his behalf and recharging for the coming week's activities.

This morning we decided it would be a good idea for Diana to get some rest. She's been going hard since Logan arrived and needs to be healthy to be able to take care of him when the time comes. So she was ordered to bed and Grayson, Wally and I dressed for church. We decided we could sneak in to Sacrament meeting before going to visit Logan at the hospital.

sshhh! tired mom sleeping...

When we arrived at church we were greeted by friends who were interested to know how Little Logan is doing. And we were met by the sweetest surpirse! A few of the ladies at church have been working all week to do something special for Logan. He's not your regular type baby. He can't wear clothes and Mom and Dad are at the hospital so much, they really can't use a casserole. But the gals at church put on their thinking caps and did the SWEETEST thing. (Did I mention they're SWEET ?) They made pins!
Everyone at church was given a Little Logan pin to remind us to keep the little guy in our prayers! We were so touched by their kindness and as a mom/mama, I am breathing so much easier knowing that Grayson, Diana, and Little Logan are surrounded and supported by people who love them. What a great day!

And when we got to the hospital it was comforting to learn that the little PDA thing is responding to treatment and Logan is chugging right along. It's going to be a while before he's a "healthy baby boy" but at least for now he's headed in that direction.

  2. I'm so glad Capri and I (and her family) was able to something useful! Logan has been in our prayers every day. Since the holiday season is usually so busy for most people, we wanted to make sure Logan wasn't forgotten so we made the pins to help others remember him in the weeks to come. Thank you again for the update about Logan. I'm grateful he is responding well to his treatments.
    Send my love,
