Not because of any thing that happened, just me. I just was not in it this year. Maybe it was the lack of sleep, maybe the demands of a new baby. I just don't know.

Baby boy, Levi came home after 5 days in the NICU. We came home on Monday evening, returned the next morning to find out he was discharged! He had lost a bit of weight at the hospital and continued to lose after we got home, down to 6.6 before climbing. That was a bit scary but God is faithful.

Let me try to back track and fill in the gaps as best I can. This is Levi James Spohr's birth story.

You see a friend's 19 year old son went missing. It was all I thought about for 2 solid weeks and then some. The details came in pieces to me and at each turn I hurt.
