My wife and I just had a beautiful little girl on Saturday. My wonderful wife labored for 43 hours with no pain meds, needless to say she could use some prayers as she is resting and healing up.

Serafina of Tuscany) and guardian angels for healing and to establish good breastfeeding habits.<\/p>\n
Also my brother who is soon to start his last semester at WSU was diagnosed with mono. We are hoping and praying for a speedy recovery so he can make it to school this fall and so he can spend time with his new niece.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
