This morning we were blessed to welcome our daughter into this world. Because I’ve been up for two days straight, I’m lacking wit. (I’ll try to recover by tomorrow.)
Here’s a couple pictures of our daughter, Ruthann Evelyn.

We rejoice in Ruthann’s birth, not primarily because Ruthann is healthy, or that she was born to a mother and father who love her, or that she is already bringing happiness to so many in this world;
we rejoice because Christ knitted her together in Alicia’s womb, forming her inward parts, and Christ ordained every day of her life before a single one of them ever came to be;
We praise God for a daughter that is fearfully and wonderfully made!



Adorable! Blessed!! Guess your mustache did the trick. Sweet photos….
