An exciting day!

Today I'm an aunt for the 7th time! So excited to meet miss Lydia Grace who was born today at 8:39am weighing 7lbs. 12oz. It's been hard to focus on much else today as I've wanted to be at the hospital celebrating with my beautiful sister and her family! I've found that through the years, as I've gotten older and now to this experience, I've anticipated and been so much more excited to receive a new little one in our family. Reasoning..hard to say? I can say that I feel so overwhelmed with joy that I get the blessing of being the sister to an amazing woman, Courtney Harshbarger! She's super mom! All the while she's been tending to her 10 and 4 year old girls, she's kept a garden, helped tremendously at her church, hand-made Lydia's diapers, helped with and encouraged Briannah in tending to her new rabbit for 4-H (which she will be showing at the Darke Co. Fair next week!!), prepared the babies room, and decided to take on, for the first time, homeschooling for miss Briannah as she begins 5th grade! WOW! How can one woman do so much!? I'm sure that doesn't even touch all the many things she does each day to provide and serve her family. All this to say, Courtney-my wonderful sister, I love you and look up to you in so many ways! I'm blessed to have you as a model of what a Godly wife & mother should be! You amaze me sis <3
