Arrival

There’s no way to untangle the emotions of this past year from the events of this weekend, no way to separate this amazing, miracle birth from the web of loss stretching over the last months. And yet …

And yet, when I heard the first cries, when my husband pressed my baby’s cheek to mine, all of it slipped back into a small space deep in my heart, and made room for more beauty, more love, more grace, more blessing.

 

We welcome Timothy Jude to our family. Ten pounds, nine ounces of sturdy, healthy baby boy gracing us with the gift of being a part of the good works God has planned in advance for him to live out. Named for his Uncle Tim, we’re calling this little man Jude.

We are honored, we are awed, we are blessed. And we thank you for the gift of your prayers!
