Welcome Baby Luke (more pictures, text soon...)


































Christmas Day, finally home from the hospital!



Day Old Child
by
Carol Lynn Pearson

My day-old child lay in my arms,
With my lips against his ear.
I whispered strongly, "How I wish--
I wish that you could hear,

"I've a hundred wonderful things to say,
(a tiny cough and a nod),
hurry, hurry, hurry and grow
So I can tell you about God."

My day-old baby's mouth was still
And my words only tickled his ear,
But a kind of light passed through his eyes,
And I saw this thought appear:

"How I wish I had a voice and words,
I've a hundred things to say.
Before I forget, I'd tell you of God--
I left Him yesterday."

Oh Cherstyn, I am SOOOOOO excited for you! I am so deeply happy for you and I can tell you feel that way too. Motherhood is the best thing in the world as you know, and even though you've already had the chance ot be a mother for quite a while, how wonderful to be able to experience the whole birth process! I'm just so happy for you. Gorgeous pictures!
Love, Shawni

Congratulations! So fun to see the photos. I check in on you from time to time through a link on my sister Kris' blog. 5 kids!! Amazing. Hope you are getting some sleep. There is nothing more tender and sweet than a scrumptious newborn baby and I always loved every waking moment. But there are LOTS of waking moments...! Enjoy. So happy for you.
love, Camille

Cherstyn, I just saw the pictures of the new little man. He's absolutely gorgeous! Tell your kids congrats on their baptism. How wonderful. Anastasia has chosen to be baptized on the 9th of April. We're so happy. Great times, great memories for all of us. Love, Cheryl Wendelboe
ps Amy Prager said she saw you. I can't remember how you know each other, but you're both so wonderful
