Our Best Christmas Gift...





*Update* His name is Ryker Fynn Loewen!
I've been keeping a secret for a couple of months now, and I'm so excited to share our news! Cody and I adopted a beautiful little boy!!! He was born Saturday December 9 and I got to be there for his birth. It was the most special experience and Cody and I feel so blessed. We have fallin in love with him and are so happy. It's hard to believe that he is finally here...we've waited for this moment for what seems like a lifetime, but we are thrilled! We love every little thing about him and I can't even begin to express all the emotions of the past days, weeks, months...years. He is here and he's perfect and we feel like we've been given the most incredible Christmas gift. No one at church knew, so when we showed up (late) today everyone was surprised and someone who was sitting in the back said that there was quite the whispering of excitement going on when we walked in. It was fun when people asked who's baby we were holding to say that he was ours and then see their surprise. And it was so nice to show him to all our good friends. Of course their were tears from some who were so sweet! I keep telling Cody everyday that I just love him so much I could cry...there has just been so many things I've felt throughout this whole process and now we have a special baby boy who will be ours to love and teach and watch grow. I feel like I'm rambling, but I've just been so excited to share this news with everyone. Our lives will be forever changed....

P.S. Happy Birthday Payton!!! (tomorrow) Auntie Kimmy and Uncle Cody love you!
