It is with hearts overflowing we proudly introduce our daughter, Harper Marie, born 8/21/15, 6 lbs, 3 oz. How an unexpected moment can change lives forever... read on to hear our amazing journey....
"Never been lonely
Never been lied to
Never had to scuffle in fear
Nothing denied to
Born at the instant
The church bells chimed
And the whole world whispering
'Born at the right time.’"
If life is simply a collection of many moments, last Friday at about 2:00 p.m. will resonate in our lives forever. We were notified a baby girl had been born that morning, and needed a home. Until that lightning bolt moment, we’d no idea she existed.
Through divine grace, her birth mother and father selected us to parent this little angel. We'll always be grateful for that brave, loving choice. Today, we officially became her parents. A moment has become the beginning of a lifetime.
So, Harper Marie would like to say hello to the world, its many blessings, and all the family and friends she can’t wait to meet. Her parents couldn’t be more thankful, for indeed she was born at the right time.

It's sad when great neighbors move... but they'll be forever friends. Wish they could have seen our BIG smiles when we got these in the mail. 😊 We (including Gabby) miss these kiddos a ton 😥
