Our first granddaughter is 10 days old, and we have a family story to share with you, that we hope will encourage and give hope to all of you mothers out there (and the fathers who lead family teams!).

The story you're about to hear absolutely shocked the nurse involved...but we thought it was totally normal.

It's just one more proof point to the goodness of God's ancient plan for families, and why we think the Family Teams model works so well.

This wasn't something we planned for, or even had as a goal, but our hope is that in sharing it with you, it gives you a direction and perhaps even opens your eyes for the first time to just how deeply connected you can be with the other people in your family.
