I’m very happy to announce the arrival of the newest member of our family, Caleb Nathaniel! Caleb made his appearance this morning, March 18 at 4:48 pm. He was 9 lbs 12 oz and measured 22″ long. All went smoothly, and Momma and baby are both doing great. Another wonderful new blessing!

They chose the name to honor two very special people. Caleb was the name of Daddy’s brother who passed away from a heart condition as an infant. Nathaniel was the middle name of Mommy’s nephew who only lived one hour and twenty minutes due to a neural tube defect called anencephaly.
