Our wonderful friend Jenny Rigney spent a few hours with us on Tuesday taking these amazing photos. She generously spent all day and night editing the several hundred pictures! We were very blessed with this family photo shoot.
Michael and Emily, what a precious family you have. The pictures are amazing. Please continue to live in the present and enjoy every minute God gives you together. In Christ, Mike and Brenda Buehler
Absolutely priceless! Thank you for posting them and letting us get to know Henryk. He is so darling, Emily is adorable and you two look pretty good, too! So thankful for these days.
Thank you do much for posting these photos and letting us get to know Henryk a little bit. He is so very sweet, and Lily is adorable. We love you and are praying for you so often!
Michael and Emily, your family is so beautiful! I can’t even begin to fathom how you are feeling, but feel that the Lord is asking me to share this with you… “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” -Philipians 4:6-7
Henryk is so precious and truly is an angel from God. I pray that you find comfort in knowing that while you are holding Henryk in your arms, the Lord is holding you. Praying for you all and Henryk constantly.
These are simply priceless photos, thanks for sharing them. Michael and Emily, you are doing an amazing job with your children. Henryk and Lily are blessed to have such loving parents. Stay strong in Him.
Love you all – Chad, Melanie, Jonah and Elisha
I came across your blog from a friend on facebook. I ventured over here and read through it all. As my eyes are filled with tears pouring out onto my face, I can’t help but feel God’s grace in all of this, especially in you two, Michael and Emily. What amazing parents the two of you are and what amazing strength the two of you have shown. I always wonder if God put me in this situation with my little girl would I be as trusting in Him as you both are? I hope I would. As I can’t even begin to comprehend the pain that is still being felt and the fear that must be constantly invading your minds, I pray that God comforts you and showers his good grace and love to you and everyone in your family. Know that through your story of heartache and pain, you are showing people all over the power of the Lord. Praying for you all and your beautiful Henryk!
