sept 21 - ani's day

ani has arrived and she couldn't be more perfect. she came at 9:52 pm at 7 lbs. 12 oz and she was 20.5" long. her feet are off-the-charts big! (a song we wrote for ani)

joy is my hero as she spent the better part of 19 hours in labor. she never gave up nor did she regret her circumstances. amazing! she has a few weeks of recovering to do, but we're getting MAJOR help from family and friends.

praises to the LORD on high for allowing me to come home with a healthy wife and a healthy daughter!

at last, the nursury is complete!

Joy and I finished up the nursury this afternoon by hanging the crate and barrel picture shelves. They were very easy to hang and we recommend them to anyone and everyone! The ONLY thing missing now is little belle. The doc said she's a few weeks ahead of schedule, so she'll be here by September 22 at the latest! YES! Evidently she got her poppa's head (scottish accent), so please pray for an 'easy' delivery for Joy. Her feet and hands are way swollen and she can't wait to sleep on her tummy again.
