Today around 2:30pm I asked Jeremy if he could remember what we were doing four years ago, almost to the minute. He paused for a second, then yelled, “OH YEAH!” and took a flying leap to tickle-wrestle his favorite four year old on the couch.
Four years ago we walked into a split-level home in Kansas and became parents. We took in our arms a tiny baby girl, who felt quite foreign to us in that moment, and became forever attached to the family who birthed her and cherished her for the previous seven weeks. That afternoon we drove away feeling more rich, more blessed, and to be honest, more terrified than ever.
Happy Livia Day to Miss Livia Raine! We love you and are proud of you, our sweet girl.

What a wonderful day that was! I can’t believe it’s been four years! I remember crying in my cubicle at work when we got the email that everything was final and you would soon have Livia in your lives. Praise God for such a blessing as children.

What a happy day! What a blessing! Reb, you are an incredible mother. Livia is as fortunate to call you mother as you are to call her daughter. Livia is the perfect fit to the Tredway family and God ordained it so!
