Another Arrow

Josh and Steph were blessed with a baby boy at 4:30am. He weighed in at 9lbs 80z and is named Owen Joshua. The threat of induction comes through again!
Here he is - another beautiful (or handsome) baby for Josh and Steph.

Steph is up and looking beautiful as always!

Josh and Brooke.

Summer happily looks on.

"Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD,

The fruit of the womb is a reward.

Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,

So are the children of one's youth.

Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them."

Psalm 127:3-5a

And . . . the baby who is no longer the baby. Brooke was really really cute. When Steph held the baby so I could take a picture, she started crying, but it didn't take long for her to stop and begin checking Owen out. Then she was very generous with her kisses. It was very cute.

Congratulations Josh and Steph. We wish you God's richest blessings as you raise Owen and your other children. You have a beautiful family!

  1. Thanks Denise for posting the pictures!! It is so hard to not be able to see the baby yet, so it is nice when we can see the pics. Thanks so much for coming John the other weekend, we really appreciated it, and you gave us both a big boost to get this house done:)
    Love,
    Jo
