Nothing better.....

than grandkids.  Jer has been sending me pictures of Ben on my cell phone, and I am getting very anxious to get there to hold him....less than 2 weeks now.

They did the echo cardiogram today and the valve hasn't completely closed but it is getting smaller.  Also he has gained 2 ounces...so he now weighs 3 lb 5 oz.

Everyone has been so good to get Andrea and Ben's names on the prayer lists in the temples, and just pray for them.  We know that this is the reason we are being so very blessed. 

The boys will be here at about 3:00 a.m. so we should see them by noon...and hopefully have them here at our house.

We now have added Elise, Luke, and Benson to these grandkids.....totaling 18.  They each hold such a special place in our hearts.  Shannon's family fasted a week ago, but Justin's family fasted Sunday.  Usually only 8 year olds fast but Alexis and Tanner both fasted also....just because they wanted to fast to Andrea and Ben.  I think it is huge for an 8 year old to fast.  I can't imagine how their little tummy's must have been so hungry because their church is at 1:00 and they don't get home until 5:00.
Shannon's family had misunderstood so they fasted a week earlier, and Janessa was convinced that her fast saved Andrea and the baby.  I am convinced that all of our prayers, fasting, faith, and just trying to live the best that we can....no we are far from prefect but we are trying, had a huge part in the blessings we have received.  NOW JUST WISHING ALL OF THE COUSINS COULD BE HERE TO GREET THE BOYS......BUT THANKFUL THEY ARE COMING AND WE CAN TAKE THEM TO EPHRAIM.
