Very very exciting news to report from home. Lisa's little 6lb. 12oz. beauty arrived on Tuesday afternoon at 6:34PM. I'm posting the news a little late but wanted to have a few pictures to include. I am so excited for Lisa and Joe as this new period of life begins. They have just received a gift direct from the heart of God. Overseeing the development of a new life is the greatest responsibility we can be given and the most rewarding. The growth of my family means so very much to me and it feels so difficult at times like these to be far away. I long now for the opportunity to hold little Zaria and am so encouraged to know that the day is coming in a few short weeks.

I had the absolute joy this morning of staring upon a white paradise at my waking. The snow has been coming down heavily all day and the sight is such treasure to these eyes. The sound of the crunching snow underfoot during my afternoon walk was music to the ears. I continue to spend glorious days in the company of my friends being refreshed and energized at their company. I have added two new galleries to Lovable Quirks of our recent activities. There has been little opportunity for reflection upon individual occasions as the days are so full. That explains the infrequent posting of late. When sitting to type I find myself wanting to do so with utmost brevity and that makes writing very difficult for me. I value each moment here with the kiddies and cannot rationalize internet time in the face of this. Take a look at the new baby and the new galleries and have a gander at the videos below of the kids and some of their antics.
