HOLY HANNA! We've had a busy weekend!
At 12:27 pm on July 23rd, we were delighted to greet Hanna Lauren into this world. She took her sweet time arriving, but the wait was worth it. She weighed in at 8 lbs 4 oz, 22 inches long - unbelievable given how small the birth mom, Katie, was.
She was the envy of the hospital nursery and had us tearful with joy!
We brought Hanna home yesterday and she had no problem getting comfortable in her new crib. We are still pinching our skin! How perfectly this family has come together. Katie and Landon, we are blessed to have you in our lives and share this precious gift with you!
More details will follow in the coming days. Stay tuned!
(Mama needs a nap!)
P.S. Read the recent posts to discover what the last month of our lives has been all about.
VERY EXCITING!

Hey guys,
Welcome to parenthood. Proverbs 17:6 says that "Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers." May this child be the beginning of Gods blessing in your new "family" life. We are soooo happy for you guys and love you all even more. All the best from Down Under.
