WELCOME EMMA ELIZABETH GRUSY!!!

WE PRAISE OUR GOOD LORD FOR SUSTAINING YOUR LIFE THROUGHOUT THE PREGNANCY AND FOR BRINGING YOU SAFELY INTO THIS WORLD!  WHAT AN INCREDIBLE BLESSING YOU ARE FROM OUR GOD, WHO HAS CREATED YOU SO WONDERFULLY!

And one of Emma's best aunts, Aunt Melissa!

We give God much praise and thanks for His marvelous creativity in bringing Emma into this world and for His faithfulness and kindness in making everything go so smoothly with labor and delivery.  
Thank you Lord for this kind gift!  We pray that you would be glorified in our parenting of Emma and that she would come to realize her sin and great need for a Savior at a young age.  

More details and photos to come soon.  Stay Tuned. :-)
