Our dear friends and neighbors, the Sussons, had a baby girl on Friday and we had the privilege of visiting Mom and baby in the hospital last night. Dad needed a lift to the hospital, so we packed up the car with an extra bench for the Susson mini-van and headed out. First we had to stop at a local grocery to buy balloons, cards, flowers, and all of Mom's favorite foods. Then we had to pretend to be family visiting from out of town to get into the hospital room after hours.

Finally, we saw and held the beautiful little girl. We witnessed overflowing parental love.
