Welcome Little Meghan!!!

It was with great joy that yesterday, July 8th, 2007 we welcomed Meghan Alyssa Joy into the world and our family. She was born at 9:22 AM, was 5 lbs 12 ounces and 18.5 inches long. She is already "one of the family" and we are so excited to get to know her more and shower her with love.

Of the occasion, and on having a new baby sister, Hunter said, "Well I really liked being there [at the hospital] two times, and well I think it's pretty much fun, I really like it but she sleeps a lot. Yeah, I really like it." (He then wandered into a long dissertation about the Rockies and pretty much lost focus on Meghan). Baylie chimed in with "um sees unother pink pincess".

Our prayer for this sweet little baby is that she would grow to know her Savior and walk fully in the plans that He has laid out for her - whatever and wherever they may be; that she would be loved, and know love; and that Melissa and I would be granted wisdom and discernment in steering her in they way she should go.

Again, welcome little Meghan, you are loved.

Happy Birthday America!!

Sweet Baylie! Getting ready to be a big sister... no baby yet... we're still just waiting!


We celebrated a nice quiet 4th of July here at home this year! It was the first year the kids got to experience some of their own fireworks on the driveway. They especially liked the sparklers and the black snakes (weird).


Some were a little loud, I guess!


A beautiful evening to enjoy!
