“The submission of one’s will is really the only uniquely personal thing we have to place on God’s altar. The many other things we ‘give’ … are actually the things He has already given or loaned to us.”

Lachlan Aaron Pond



So...Shayne and I added to our family yesterday!!

Lachlan Aaron Pond joined our family at 12:34 pm yesterday, Sept. 29th, after a perfect C-section.

He weighed 6lbs 14 oz and is 18 1/2 inches long. He has hair! It's a reddish/brown color, which is sooo cute. He's been an excellent baby, minus his lack of motivation for eating at this point, but he's improving.

I'm doing great. I've felt better after this procedure than after the one in Chicago, so that's been great. Shayne is definitely the proud papa. He is so cute with him...I love it. They've already watched a baseball game and some Monday night football.

Anyway...I'll try and post more pics later. Shayne's laptop is having issues with photos, so we'll see what we can do.

YAY!!! Oh, congrats Pep! He is a handsome one too. I'm so glad you're C went well. After 2 of them, I can tell you, make sure you TAKE IT SLOW and try not to do too much. Enjoy people taking care of you for a while and take advantage of it! I felt really good at first so I thought I'd be fine doing stuff, but I paid for it later. Did your mom make it up?
