the c-section was a surprise for everyone...

leighton's proud daddy.

our little love-sponge.

we are absolutely overwhelmed by our love for this tiny little girl--assured of God's grace, astounded by His perfection and amazed by her purity. our lives are already immeasurably richer because of leighton, and we are in complete adoration.
