Wow!  Baby Judah is born!  What an incredible experience we are having.  As the old year came to an end and people sang Auld Lang Syne to usher in the new one, the three of us shared a special moment in our hospital room; thanking God for His kindness in giving us this beautiful baby boy.  The whole experience from birth to changing his first diaper and driving home at 20 miles an hour has been somewhat surreal.  We now know why people say having a baby is a miracle like no other.  Seeing a new life come into the world stirred up emotions we never knew we had.  It’s truly breathtaking… so we’ve decided we’re going to keep him. Like I said to Annie, “he’s better than a new iPhone”.  Yes, he may not have many apps at this point and his ring volume is un-adjustable but there is just no comparison.  We love lying in bed and stare at him as he squirms around and syncs to life in this new world.

Pray for…

1. Annie’s recovery from birthing our 9 pounds 3 ounce baby. That was no small thing, let me tell you! I have mad respect for my wife after that experience.

2. Pray for us as we adjust to life with a baby.

3. Thank the Lord with us as we recognize His kindness in giving us a life to nurture and steward. We are so blessed!

Last Words

“People who say they sleep like a baby usually don’t have one.”

“A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bank balance smaller, home happier, clothes dirty, the past forgotten, and the future worth living for.”
