Bright Light

Elaina Caryn is here!

May 1st at 2:26am we welcomed our sweet baby Roo. She was 20.5 inches long and weighed 6lbs. 5oz.

We are so thankful for her safe & healthy arrival!

We are getting into a groove with her, lots of kissing and cuddling. She is very aware after she eats, looks all over the room and is drawn to bright lights. We are sleeping well, taking lots of naps and praising the Lord that she is putting on weight. She lots over 1lb after we left the hospital and we have been working hard ever since to get some meat (if you can call it that) on her.
We are learning her and thankful that she already has a personality, as she make sure we know what her likes and dislikes are.
I am enjoying the team effort it takes to care for Elaina and excited to see what new things God is and will continue to do in our family, both as a couple and as parents. Chris (AKA Poppi) is such a servant and continually blesses me with acts of service and care.

Elaina: Bright Light
Caryn (Ca-Ryn): Pure

We hope that as Elaina grows she learns who the true Light is and can then be a light to lead others to God. We are praying purity over her heart, mind and body and believing in Gods plan for her life.
