"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

Layla Raine

We are so thankful that God has blessed us with another sweet baby! Last Monday, November 23, Layla Raine was born at 10:13 am. She was 6 lb 5 oz (our smallest baby!) and 20 inches long. I would have to say it was my easiest, most painless delivery yet (gotta love those epidurals!!) But seriously, not to be too graphic, but one halfhearted push and she slid right out! So that was a blessing, too!! Anyway, she is doing great--a little sweetie. Kaine and Halle seem to really love her, too. Here are some pictures:)


What a sweetheart!

The classic "yawn picture"

Proud Daddy!

Proud Mommy!


We were so thankful that our hospital lifted the ban on kids under 18 visiting! Just a few days before Layla was born they changed the rules, so we were so excited that Kaine and Halle were able to come and see Layla in the hospital!


Kaine just loves his new sister!!




He was even so kind to share his stuffed animal with her! (if you can't tell, Cheetah is laying on top of Layla)

Halle is fascinated by Layla--she is constantly touching her eyes, nose, hair, hands, etc and saying "nose" "eyes" etc. It is so cute! (at least, until Halle pokes Layla in the eye--poor little thing, she will have to be a tough child!)


Nathan taught Halle to burp Layla

Well, I was trying to get a cute picture...as you can see, it wasn't working so well:)

Sweet little Layla :)
Thank you, Lord, for blessing us with Layla!
