The Time Has Come…

Our last soccer game of the season was very memorable…we had all of our players there, we played really well, we had great snacks (I made gluten-free Rice Krispie Treats and others brought freeze pops and fruit snacks), Grace scored TWO goals!!!, AND MY WATER BROKE DURING THE SECOND QUARTER!!  For those who know my family, it was quite poetic that I would have that happen on the soccer field and that I would finish the whole game out on the field as coach without telling anyone (except Danny).  This picture was taken right after the game… we socialized a little and then headed home to asses my health, get the kids to bed and call Sherri to come watch the kids while we headed to the hospital.

And then SEVEN hours later…

Caleb Andrew Lightner was born.  8 pounds, 2 ounces, and 20.25 inches!  What a cutie!

It was a very eventful night… we didn’t get back to our real room until around 4.  We were very tired, but felt so blessed. We praised the Lord together for this little miracle and then tried to get some rest before Danny headed home to take care of the kids and then bring them all to meet Caleb!
