This Summer and all its Happenings Part 2

       There is nothing quite as sweet as seeing a father lay eyes on his brand new baby girl and hold her so sweetly, carefully and protectively! Especially when that father is your little brother! My little brother Tim and his wife Noelle became a family of three this summer when the beautiful Ivory Nightingale made her entrance to this world! Oh my word, is she ever a beauty! My brother is a passivest to the core of his being, but having a beauty like this growing up in the house, I think he may need a gun or two.... He is going to be the most spectacular father ever and Noelle is already the perfect mother for sweet little Ivory!

      My parents flew me down to surprise Tim and Noelle! That's how the Nightingales roll... We love surprises and love to surprise! It was such a beautiful blessing and gift to be able to be in their home, spending precious time with them and my new gorgeous niece! I got lots of cuddle time and wouldn't have had it any other way! Being an Auntie is the best!!! We get all the love and get sleep too!

While I was in Cali I also took my mom out for manicures and pedicures. It was her first time, so that was a really special and fun treat! It was very precious to be able to have those days with my family. I soaked up every minute of it!

       After flying back from Fresno I had the great privilege of sharing Lily's story at the Women's Bible studies at our church! It was such a blessing for me as I prepared for it to walk through the miracles that God graciously poured out on my daughter and our family during that time, what it taught me and how I grew! I was also blessed beyond words at the support and love that I received from my dear friends, who made it a priority to be there and support me. It meant the world to me. My prayer is that God will continue to use Lily's story and life for His glory!

   
 Right after that, I packed up the suburban and headed up to spend a few weeks with my parents in Pincher Creek! Needless to say it was the craziest summer in Libby history! Our time in Canada, and camping to come....
