Last day and Home Sweet Home!

We spent a good part of Friday at the hospital and our girl was beaming from ear to ear once it set in that she was not there to stay. Smiles went on and on and are still going on and on today. For now, I leave you with lots of pictures.... We have lots of playing and catching up to do here! I am still standing in AWE, I have witnessed a miracle with my very own eyes!

    After a minor adjustment to the constitution, Ivy Joy will be the third woman, and the first foreign-born person, to become President of the United States.

    If there is someone strong enough and wise enough to save this country of mine from terminal decay ... Ivy would be able to set us back on track.

    The whole world knows and has seen ...
    God- Almighty has her back.

    These pictures, and the knowledge and gratitude I feel, knowing that you and Ivy are home, a day ahead of Super Bowl, takes my breath away.

    With a heart aching with joy,
    for precious Ivy Joy,

    You don't know me, I am friends with Kelly Payne and that's how I came to be on this blog and to pray for you and your sweet little girl. I just wanted you to know that we are thrilled that she is better and thankful that you are an example of trusting God, not once, but over and over again, day by day, minute by minute, breath by breath. Thank you!

    I'm looking at these photo's an Nikki Minaj song "I wish that I can have this moment for LIFE" is playing on the radio and although I'm not a Nikki fan, I think "PARTS" of this songs goes perfectly with these pictures. These verses ESPECIALLY

    I fly with the stars in the skies,
    I am no longer trying to survive,
    I believe that life is a prize,


    This is my moment, I waited all my life I can tell its time
    drifting away I'm one with the sunsets, I have become alive.

    This is my moment I just feel so alive, alive, alive


    So HAPPY for IVY JOY and LOVE! LOVE! LOVE her shirt!!
