A visit to see mommy!

It's always good when Christine has a good day and even if it doesn't last all day, the good part is so good...and so it was today when Jack and I went over with a few goodies!
First of all, she looked great in a very cute maternity outfit Giggi got her - that's so much better than gowns all the time! Jack thought mommy would like some grapes from the fruit stand!

CHOCOLATE! This is a favorite treat for Jack AND mommy AND Sam!

I am in awe of the strength of my daughter. She has had such a "medically fragile" life and I just praise God for a visit where we smiled, laughed and shared a few moments "away" from the reality of this time. We are all going into the next few weeks with positive thoughts and constant prayer. Please continue to pray for Christine, Jack and Matt, and for Sam, that he will grow stronger so that when God's time is right, he can be delivered safely and in good health.

On our knees...we are thankful for each of you who continue to be prayer warriors for our family and ask that in the next few weeks, you offer up special prayers that whatever happens, God will bless this sweet family with a healthy baby AND a healthy mommy!

It's so good to see Christine with Jack and smiling!!! She is in my prayers--and I know with God's help you all will make it through the next few weeks--and He will receive the glory for it!
Can Christine receive cards at the hospital?

Thanks for making me cry before church! Honestly, that is the most beautiful sight ever! Tine looks so great and it's hard to believe that she has had such a rough time. Although I know she certainly has. Jack is just incredible as are his parents and grandparents. Jack and Sam are going to be quite a pair and I can't wait until they come to Neena's to see the cows. Love to you all!

Reading your entry tonight was a great way to end a great Sunday. Christine, you look absolutely beautiful! Do you not know how sick you are? Ha! You are a great witness to all of us. Your faithfulness and sense of God's peace are a witness to the world. We love you, JoJo

What great pictures! I'm so glad you thought to make some! Things have been so crazy we almost let this pregnancy fly by without a pregnant photo! She looks adorable. I know she enjoyed her quality time with Jack & is looking forward to more in quantity! He will probably be velcroed to her when she gets back home! She better get ready to watch lots of vegetales arm in arm with Jack in his cowboy hat! Love ya, Giggi

It's so good to see pictures of pregnant Tine smiling and playing with Jack! She looks great! I'm praying for her and Sam to both be strong and healthy, and for Matt, Jack, you, Kathy, and all your family to have rest, encouragement, and strength. Give her a hug from me!

Hi Mindy!

Thanks for all the updates on Christine! She looks so good in all the pics with Jack. Can y'all feel all the prayers headed your way from Frisco? If I were to send Christine a card, what address would I send it to? Send my love to Christine.

Love you guys...
