LOVE

When Greg married Dana five years ago, we got a bonus boy....She had a little guy we fell in love with. Austin was 3 and quickly became Parker's best friend. They spend every weekend together. Austin has always referred to Greg as Daddygreg... that is ALL one word. You would NEVER know he is not Greg's biological child. Although he has two other sets of grandparents that love him, we just consider ourselves as his bonus set. Austin is so excited about his new little brother arriving in June. When baby Jack was born, he was mesmerized by him. He loves for his Mom to "keep" Jack. I have so many sweet pictures of him loving on Jack.

Dana...is every mothers dream for her boy. She loves him and she confirms that to me over and over. The best words to describe her other than beautiful, would be LOW Maintenance... She is just agreeable to whatever and whenever...
She and Greg have dreamed of a baby since the day they married and it has been a long road. At times it seemed like it would not happen. Dana has a hard time with pregnancy and the sadness of miscarriage has been a part of their lives. And then that "happy day" happened again..the day after we returned from our family Disney World trip in October...she found out she was pregnant. For the first 4 months, none of us took a deep breath. Today she is 30 weeks and we are anxiously awaiting a new little guy the middle of June. Dreams do come true. I remember standing in front of the castle during the "Wishes" fireworks show late one night, praying that God would give them a baby. Little did I know, he had already taken care of that wish!

My boy will have a boy and that just makes me smile...Dana and Austin made Greg's life complete and then God just added another treasure to their family. Makes me want to sing that song.."How Great is Our God"!
