I am now the proud Auntie to Owen Joseph Gleason, born to my AMAZING sister Dayna over in Swaziland, Africa!
Dayna and her husband are over there as missionaries for our Great God, and she just delivered her firstborn this morning. To say that I am proud of her and impressed beyond measure would not quite be cutting it. That woman is - well - just amazing. I am honored to be her sister, and now honored to be Owen's aunt.
I can't believe I'm going to have to wait 4 months to meet this little guy, when they come to the states to visit. I'm still trying to devise a plan to get over there to meet him before that...but I'll need a passport...and a place for my kids for at least a week...and a bunch of money for the plane ticket...so I'll probably just have to be patient. But that's not my best virtue.
I'll be back with more another time - I'm so exhausted from being up all night praying for them and wondering how things were going halfway across the globe that I can't think straight. At least the kids and I all have clean clothes on today.
Congratulations Dayna & Jonathan! I love you all so much and am so excited for you!
Auntie Crystal =)
