Prayer and Music warms the heart. . .

Here's a post I started earlier on Thursday. . .
Thank you all for lifting me up in prayer. And a big thanks to the prayers from my church family - thanks Pastor Sean!

Thank you Tami! I watched the video dedicated to Celeste and American music sounded so good. Youtube here I come. . .Flashdance, Time after Time, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, September (Earth, Wind & Fire) - a song DH and danced to at our wedding. . .

Then I moved to Chris Tomlin - Amazing Love, Holy is the Lord, How Great is Our God. . .We Fall Down, Blessed be Your Name, God of Wonders. It felt so good to let out some more tears. My dad took Gracyn out for a walk, and I was able to just be alone. To be with God.

Shortly after I wrote this (on Thursday still), we were able to Skype with PEYTON, my favorite little guy! My Hero. While we were Skyping we were eating Mas Burgers and Fries, along with a good ole Coke.

I was talking to Peyton, telling him how much I loved him, I was so happy to see the little guy! I asked him for a kiss (he actually kisses the screen) and guess who comes running to me. . .that's right, little miss Gracyn with lips smooched together and ready to plant one. Everyone got to witness Gracyn and Mommy's first kiss! She kept running to and from me and Dad offering up her love! My Dad said Peyton looked sad when he saw me kissing his baby sister. . .Gracyn apparently started to feel some pressure for attention.

Meanwhile, during the same call, she started climbing all over Dad, apparently has had french fries before because she didn't want a little bite, she wanted a whole fry to dip in ketchup - that's my girl! She ate some burger, and yep, we let her have some Coke - she knows how to use a straw and sip from a water bottle quite well. Peyton is my little HERO! And of course, I thank God for this. It was amazing to see Gracyn waving at Daddy and Peyt with smiles, and for the first time we really got to see Gracyn.

 

Daddy and Peyton went shoe shopping and Peyton picked out Nikes. Then they picked out a dress for Gracyn! How cute! They showed it to use via Skype.

Dad took Gracyn out for a walk after the great call, and she fell asleep in her stroller. Slept over 2 hours like a little angel.


Last but not least, here's a photo from her first bath that I never got around to posting. . .She really doesn't like the flash, so it's hard to take pictures of her indoors. When she sees the camera coming she squints and covers her face!


Today was a good day. . .I loved having time on-line with Peyt, and having Gracyn kiss me for the first time was so sweet. I'm starting to feel what it's like being a Mommy to 2! I was torn. . .I wanted Gracyn's kisses, but I didn't want my Peyton to think I had forgotten about him. . .My love for each of them is so unique, just as they are.

Thank you Heavenly Father for this beautiful day!
