Here are some family photos for you taken recently.

one more

just had to share one more photo of Madylanne and Matthew

Visitors

We were so blessed to have missionary family come visit us in the hospital and love on and care for Madylanne while Mark stayed with Matthew and Melynda during the daytime while we were in the hospital.
Here are: Larry and Dianne Randolph,
Jessica, Wanda, and Denise
We love you all and can't thank you enough!

A Doting Big Sister

Here are some great shots of Madylanne loving on her little brother. She just loves this little guy!! She loves to hug and kiss him, and always wants to hold him. She covers her ears when he cries. :)

In the bottom photo I tried to let you see the little patch of blond hair in the middle of all Matthew's dark hair. It's kind of hard to see from the photo, but in person it really stands out. So cute!

In the Hospital

While in the hospital Matthew got a little jaundiced and so they put him under the biliribin lights the last night of our stay. He is doing just fine and was able to be dismissed from the hospital (Sat. Feb. 5th) without any delays. We are so grateful to the Lord that Matthew is healthy!

The night he was under the bilirubin lights God sent Melynda 5 followers of Jesus to encourage her in person- one missionary (Denise), one fellow Mom who had also just had a baby (they named their little girl Trinity), and three nurses on staff at the hospital. Talk about feeling the presence of the Lord and knowing His peace, that everything would be ok!!! God is so good to us. His love is overwhelming!

Pictures of Matthew at last
