She's Here!

Mrs. Beaver:

Praising God for the safe arrival of our first grandchild:

Brielle Madelyn Nix

Born 3:50 p.m. EST

6 lbs 7 oz

19-1/4 inches

Born to Aaron and Anna Nix (see happy, brand new daddy below)

Mother and baby are well! 

I dedicate this post to Anna's birthmother. I have thought of you, H, so many times in the past 24 hours. You have been on my heart as I've relived the day Anna Mackenzie was born. Your selflessness in giving life to Anna rather than aborting her made today possible. Your willingness to sacrifice comfort and convenience that Anna might live has now resulted in the remarkable blessing of Brielle. What a beautiful legacy! Thank you--times without number!

We're Gonna Be Grandparents!

Many of you know this already, but our oldest daughter, Anna, and her husband, Aaron, are expecting their first baby. Their little one is due in June and the parents-to-be are ecstatic. This has been their dream since the day they married.

These first-time grandparents are also filled with joy! Well...to tell the truth, we vacillate between joy and jaw-dropping disbelief that such a wonderful blessing could be taking place in our lives. Wow! God is so good!

We would, of course, be grateful for your prayers for the safety of the baby. We would also love if you would join us in praying that he or she would become an ardant, passionate follower of Christ.

(The beautiful baby in the photo is the first child of friends from church. On Saturday, Lissie and I were privileged to take pictures of three-week-old Caleb. He is certainly fearfully and wonderfully made!)
