    I am already a follower of your blog. I can’t remember how I found your blog but I’ve been reading since shortly after Ryan was born. It may have been from Kelly’s Korner–not sure though. 🙂

    I found your blog via a link on a friend’s facebook page. She had posted the “I’m praying for Ryan” picture and link and I saw it and just clicked on it to see what it was. I have been checking up on you guys ever since! I even went back and read the earlier “baby boy” postings retroactively.

    I found your blog when MckMama asked us to pray for Ryan. I then realized that I know Henry from childhood (my maiden name is Rexroth). Small world. I love reading your blog. Am praying for your family in this transition. I can identify in so many ways.

    I honestly can’t remember where I found your blog, it was another blogger that I read, but the night I found it I was up until after midnight reading… and picked up again with my morning coffee and again at nap time.I am still trying to catch up… the tears and smiles and laugh out loud, you have it all and a beautiful family!

    I love these stores! We just ordered the kids some super cute school desks from there. It would be great to win the giveaway though for some baby stuff! 🙂
    And I found your blog from you writing me a sweet email in reply to a comment I left on someone else’s blog about marriage. It amazed me that you so un-selfishly reached out to me after I found out what all you were going through! (Ryan wasn’t even born yet)Thanks for being a great blogger and encouragement to me.

    Hmm, I heard you had a blog, maybe at a family function? Anyways, I knew you had a blog for a while but didn’t start reading regularly until around the time Ryan was born.

    Honestly, I’m not sure how I found your blog. It may have been through MckMama’s? But I really have no clue. Either way, I’m glad I do because I look forward to reading it. You make me think, if she can do it, for the love of goodness, so can I!

    Regardless, I love your blog! I love reading the updates about Ryan (and the girls), but especially love how you always point to Christ.

    And I love CSN – we’ve purchased a kitchen sink (random, right?!) and a car seat from their affiliate stores. 🙂

  • Leighann / July 12, 2010 / Reply

    Stephanie S – the giant is a little over 6’9″. To get an idea of how tall that is, a standard door is 6’8″. So he is a little over that… and he is as broad as a standard door too! I am almost 5’6″ and half the width of a door. 🙂
