Today my brother in law and his wife became parents. Early this morning, two little babies entered this world - Colton and Harper - my newest nephew and niece.
I thought yesterday of the panic and excitement they must be feeling. Both probably equally strong! These two desperately wanted to start a family and struggled to conceive as so many do. Their struggle ended with an awesome result - twins - one boy, one girl - who gave them a couple of scares initially, but thankfully stayed the course. Through their struggle and this pregnancy, Jon and Kelli found more love in each other and their faith - and the resulting strength they have is phenonemnal. I admire that about them more than I can put into words.
The journey for Jon and Kelli to become a family has been long and filled with ups and downs. But now, NOW their real journey begins. Parenting. Raising twins. Becoming a family.
I can't wait to watch!
Congratulations Jon and Kelli! Welcome Colton and Harper - I'm sure to be your favorite aunt! (And if Julie or Wendy tell you otherwise, I'll set them straight!)
Congrats to them!
