Bruner twins are here!

Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
Sept. 2nd, 2009
This morning we rejoice fully with tears of thankfulness and joy as sweet little Brooks and Reese came into this world! Sarah and Stephen had a long day of labor yesterday and through the night. But, finally at 3:37 am, James Brooks Bruner made his way into this world! He weighs 5.13, and is 19 inches long. Then, three minutes (3:40 am) later little miss Reese Redding Bruner came to meet her big brother, and parents! She has strawberry blond hair and weighs 5.11 and was 17 inches long! The greatest part is they are both doing amazingly well and are in the room with their mommy and daddy! Praise the Lord! No Nicu! Sarah is doing great, she is absolutely amazed that her two little babies are really here! She couldn't be more excited and thankful! And Stephen, a new dad is acting like he has done this his whole life! He has been tending to Brooks, Reese, and Sarah, "like a champ" as Sarah put it! We couldn't be more thankful to celebrate this day- Happy Birthday to you both!
I spoke with Sarah this morning and she sounds great- more than thankful to be a mom! She is tired but is too excited to think about her tired body right now! A sweet moment for all of us to remember- she said once Brooks and Reese were all in the room with everyone- The Nelsons, Bruners, Maggie, Mommy and Daddy Bruner, and the twins all sang- "Praise God from whom all blessings flow!" Tears of love and joy were in the room as everyone showed their appreciation to God for his amazing blessings! So......I welcome......Brooks and Reese Bruner into this world- look at how sweet they are! I can't wait to meet them and love on them their entire lives!
