It is with great joy...



that I announce the birth of our son, David Newton, Jr., on November 11, 2015 at 6:25pm. 7 lbs 12 oz and 20.25 inches. He was delivered by his daddy in our car. An ambulance arrived a few minutes later and we were taken to the closest hospital. All of us are healthy and doing well. It was certainly a crazy birth, but in many ways his unconventional entrance seems like a very unexpected answer to so many of our prayers.

We came home yesterday and are learning what it's like to be a family of four. Big sis Lucia is especially very enamored and protective of "little brudder". Thank you to everyone who has prayed for our family throughout this pregnancy, we are so grateful!

Birth story to come. In the meantime, here are some pictures of little David's first few days.

  10. Oh Mandi, Congratulations! How precious is the picture of Lucia and David Jr. together?!

    Maybe his crazy entrance into the world was an answered prayer for a healing birth? God works in mysterious ways.

    Congratulations to you all. Enjoy this sweet time together! God bless you.
