Kimberly and Jordan are officially a family as of January 14, 2009! Congratulations you guys!
We've been waiting and waiting for little Mercy to come - she was due the 31st of December! After weeks of patience and 2 hours of torturous labor, she finally decided to come into this world weighing in at an even 7 LBs and measuring 19 inches. Way to go Momma!
She has many aunts and uncles waiting to love on her - some are in Kentucky, Kansas and Florida, while others are away at school, and yet others, like myself, are not biologically even related, but will most definitely love her as if they were.
Even though they moved to KY after college, Peter and I have maintained a great relationship with Kimberly and Jordan since our early years at College of the Ozarks. The Lord has blessed us with a beautiful friendship.
Peter and Jordan have loved hiking and camping together as well as mulling over and over maps. They're both pretty stubborn but have sharpened each other because of it.
Kimberly and I have have been blessed with a relationship that can been quite silly sometimes, quoting particular movie lines over and over, yet so much of my spiritual growth in college happened with her and I just discussing and questioning all sorts of things, going back and forth.
(We're also secretly trying to work out an arranged marriage between at least one of each of our children...)
(at our wedding)Kim & Jordan,
We sure do love you guys and are exceedingly happy for you and your new addition! She's beautiful! You will be wonderful parents!
Our prayer for Mercy is that she would grow up to experience her name as well as it's counterpart, grace; that she would know how deeply she is loved by those around her and more importantly by her heavenly Father. May she see her heritage of goodness, generosity, and godliness, and walk in its way.
Mercy Kathleen, "The LORD bless you, and keep you; The LORD make His face shine on you, And be gracious to you; The LORD lift up His countenance on you, And give you peace"
