Congratulations to Richard and MaryBeth and Summer! They welcomed their little son/brother into the world this morning at 11:30. He weighed 8lbs 9oz and is super cute. Everyone is looking and doing really well!
Songs sweetly sung by the cradle
Prayers whispered just before bed
And we taught them "Jesus loves you" in a simple song
And we pray they won't forget their whole life long
Children are a treasure from the Lord
Those bright and trusting eyes
Seem to take us by surprise
And they see what others older seem to miss
May the gift of faith they hold
Grow as they grow old
May they always know God will never let them go . . .

Homes ring with echoes of laughter
Long after they've come and gone
And just knowing that our children really love the Lord
Is a faithful parent's passion and reward
Yes, children are a treasure from the Lord
Children are a treasure from the Lord
Yes, children are a treasure from the Lord!!
Welcomed by a few of his cousins.
Steph dubbed him a Hartemink immediately, and says he looks just like Landon. (Something about Hartemink lips!?!;)) You be the judge. 
Ha,Ha, that is too funny!! Josh was checking out your Blog, and as he was doing it I said to him, Yah knowing Denise she'll have pictures of the latest baby born on here already and sure enough YOU DID!! and at 6:48 I see, not even a full hour after we saw you there. You sure are on the ball. So after seeing those pictures of Hunter and Landon together,I didn't think twice!! You sure take some great pictures Denise!! And yes everyone looks so good and happy. It was kinda nice to hold a little baby again:( (I'm not gonna lie) See ya tomorrow!

Thanks Denise...I knew I could count on you to have the latest photos of the sweet little Hunter! How exciting! He does look like Landon...which would only be fair if he looks like a Hartemink because Summer is SO Mary-Beth! Keep us updated with photos!! I hate being this far away and not being able to just whip up and see them all! Also, loved the Florida pics...it looked like you had a wonderful time. I laughed my head off at Kylie...she looks like a spitfire...I have the same pic of Josh outside in his diaper shovelling snow. I was so worried what my neighbors might think if they caught a glimpse! Love to you!

Thanks for posting those pictures of Hunter!! we were going to stop and see him on our way home from Niagra Falls, but we got kinda sidetrackted. so its nice to still be able to see him :o) I can't believe how much his and Landon's pictures are identical!!
ReplyDeleteI knew you would be on the ball as usual Denise, we can always count on you for pictures:) It was fun seeing John today. Funny how he never seems to work:) I definitely thought Hunter was a Hartemink as well, but the picture of Landon confirmed it. He is adorable.
