Ready or Not, I'm Coming Home!!



Yes, that is little Maxwell above. He is officially COMING HOME tomorrow!!! Everyone is so super excited and just so thankful for the prayers, support, encouragement and love. Praise our Heavenly Father, Max is coming HOME!

Hollie has been a nervous wreck because since Maxwell arrived much earlier than expected, they did not have one single thing ready for his nursery. The room was still an office.

Hollie lived in the City 2 hours from home to be with little Maxwell (if you remember, she went into labor while visiting her parents one weekend), so she has hardly been home at all for the past two months. She usually made the trip in on Wednesdays to try and get some things done before he came home.

My brother had a grand idea to completely paint and decorate the nursery in one weekend to surprise Hollie. He, of course, had to enlist the help of his family, so for two solid days, Mom, Husby, Luke and I painted and prepared the nursery. When Hollie came home that next Wednesday, it was completely done - down to the smallest of detail. She was completely FLOORED! It was awesome.

So now his room is ready and so is he. Home Sweet Home, Little Maxwell. Praise the LORD.
