Boy!

By | October 11, 2010

Good news!  Our son has arrived!  This morning Kelli had a C-section and at 8:04, Jonathan Daniel poked his head out into this bright, loud world.  Last night I predicted that he would weigh 7lbs and 9 oz.  The little guy must have picked up 2 oz overnight just to prove me wrong!  (If you ‘re a metric friend of mine, he weighed 3.48 kg.)  His length, which in Israel they say is a dumb thing to measure, is 19.25 inches.

I took some pictures of Jonathan and the family.  My favorite is the one of his first bath.  You can click on the photo below to see that one and a few others.

We appreciate your prayers for Kelli’s recovery and Jonathan’s health.  We know that these things are gifts from God and not matters to be taken for granted.

    Your kids are all so lovely! So glad you are all doing well! (Kinda sad that you didn’t choose my name choice, though. ;) Wilberforce Spurgeon is so…theological:) However, Jonathan Daniel is better, and more biblical!
    Sigh, I remember 8 years ago, when Bethany was just a few months old, coming on the plane back to Israel with our IBEX group. Was it really that long ago?! She is so big and beautiful now! I love seeing God continue to bless you all!
