Start commanding. Settle unkindness. :-)
Well, who needs a midwife, doula, or labor coach when you've got Hannah?! Our prayers are with you guys. I just caught up on your lives by reading some previous posts -- wow, it's been quite an ordeal recently. And there I was, sitting at the piano each Tuesday, watching you up there (when you could be there) thinking how peaceful and beautiful you looked -- and not knowing all the things that were going on in your life (tho imagining what COULD be going on with Hannah and Daniel in your home! :-)

What a treasure you have posted for us to read...thank you Debra for allowing us a glimpse into your world! To hear what is going on in a precious seven year olds mind as she watches her Mommy prepare for another marathon is so interesting...we love all of you and have been praying for you. Soon your loving arms will replace your nuturing womb. Many hugs...
I just had to comment because I saw Tim McCracken's blog linked here. His dad was the pastor who married us (Bob McCracken). We attended his church in Beltsville, MD. Small world. :)
It IS a small world :-) I'm assuming your (Kevin and Amy Koons) connection with the Fears is law school. Actually, I think I may have heard of this small-world-link before, maybe through the Parishes (our oldest daughter's in-laws, who know the Fears, who maybe heard of the McCs from the Koons...!!).
By the way -- we're praying for you this evening, Debra and Peter! I'm writing as you're in the hospital... may the hours pass quickly!!
