full-circle… Her Birth Story

Masterly orchestrated events… the LORD has brought us full-circle.

A birth,  in our mini-van, and in our friends driveway.

As the ambulance pulled into Highland Hospital,  my heart was overwhelmed with joy & peace.   My mind suddenly wrapped around the words “full circle”.     In a split second, memories of past 911 calls, ambulance rides, and Tucker’s last ride …. were overshadowed with LIFE.     We were arrived in full JOY.

Enjoy the video.  PUSH PLAY.

We have a little ditty we often say around here…  “Life with the Salisbury’s is always an Adventure”.    If you look close at the shirt Irv so happened to throw on as we ran out the door… “Serving God is not a job, it’s an Adventure”. So true.

The Salisbury Men Welcoming Committee arrived to the hospital, decked out in their PINK shirts to meet “the girl, the princess”.  It was such fun to watch all their interactions.   Joy.

When time came to go home with daddy, the boys did not want to leave Eden behind.   Isaac asked mom, “You come home?  They put baby Eden back in your belly?”    I wondered if that’s what he wished.  My concerns were dismissed at bedtime when daddy had Isaac call mommy at the hopsital.  Isaac was sobbing saying, “I miss baby Eden, I miss baby Eden”.   So adorable.   He slept with his little doll “girl baby” (as he calls her) that night, all tucked in cozy.

Day 2, Thursday, we came home.    The boys decorated the Salis-bus,  Eden’s car seat, and our mailbox.   We did hear some honks on the way home.   We stopped at the cemetery,  had a great McO welcome in our driveway, and loved the sunshine.

Thanks for the prayers, congrats, emails, calls and loving acts of kindness.

We are purposing to enjoy these moments at home and  attempting to keep it simple.

“Every good and perfect gift is from above” … (James 1:17 NIV)

With thankful hearts … The Salisbury Family
