there's a new kid in town

Mama's and baby's heartbeat are monitored during labor. Baby Elliot can hear Christa's heartbeat. I love this picture. This is a couple hours before his delivery.


I am in awe of the effort Christa put in to get our son out of her womb. He was placed on her chest immediately.







Beautiful mother. Beautiful little boy.
60 seconds after the delivery.
She finally rests.
And a cry fill his lungs with air for the first time ever.



It took a team effort to welcome a new generation.






7 lbs, 5 ounces of naked new life.






Thank you Lord, maker and creator of life. You have blessed your children.

  1. those pics take my breath away bro. I want to go back to a week ago and meet Elliot again! happy 1 week b-day to my favorite nephew.

    Psalm 127:3-5
    "Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies in the gate."
