Meeting Baby...

We have been really looking forward to this moment... not knowing how the timing or details would work out, but really hoping that we could all meet our baby together.  Grace upon grace, our baby was born smooth and healthy and we woke the kids up (at 4:15 am) for a groggy introduction to their new sibling.  It might take some time to load the video- so maybe let it load before you try to watch?

a few quick notes...


Yep, those are the biggest smiles that could ever stretch across Matt's face or mine...


Matt whispers one part:  "Do we have a new baby brother or a sister?"


For Marian's counting, she includes Mom and Dad for the total number of boys and girls in our family.  


Since this middle of the night meeting, the kids have each showered kisses on Vivi.  It hadn't quite arrived on the spot, but the love is definitely there now in all the big siblings for our sweetest little darling.


We praise the Lord for this baby GIRL!!!

  2. This is so wonderful! I can't help thinking that your Marian and our Mazie would have such fun together! Counting 3 girls and 3 boys would have been a big deal to her as well! Oh how our hearts rejoice with you, dear friends! We love you so and just think- you can now play games "girls against the boys"! :)
