With Tears of Thanksgiving...

To all of you who have commented and emailed - previous and first-timers, lurkers, coworkers, friends whom I have met - or the ones I have not yet had the pleasure to... goodness - how do I cover everyone?

Thank you. Words are so inadequate. But I hope you all know what a gift God has given me through your joy and praise of Him today.

Kurt and I are overwhelmed with your love and happiness for us. That's truly all I can say for now...
... except that I'm glad I can still type even with a huge lump in my throat! :)

One more of the little peanut with her daddy - exhaustion and joy. :)

Peyton is beautiful. I really haven't known what else to say. I'm really happy for you, Kendall. It's a tearful happiness twinged with longing on my part. But happy nonetheless.

Peyton is so beautiful!! I happen to drive by the Manz home on Kennedy on Tuesday and saw a pink balloon in the flower pot and so I wondered if the Lord had indeed brought a new precious life into this world and into your family!!! I am thrilled for you and once again can cry with you but this time with joy!!

I love this picture. I'm so glad that things went well - I have to admit I was a little afraid for you that all might not be well but God knows how much each of us can handle and he has certainly blessed you with a beautiful daughter.

I am one of those blog stalkers or lurkers as you have called me. I have laughed, cried and prayed for your family this past year. God is good- even when we don't understand His hand, I know I can always trust His heart. Your daughter is absolutely beautiful. Enjoy every moment. Karen

You have gone through so much and I thank God for giving you the blessing and shear joy you deserve - SHE IS AMAZING.
