Matthew Ian



Today we have been blessed with the birth of our son Matthew. Born by scheduled C-section 2 weeks early, he tipped the scale at 7lbs 9oz, the heaviest of our children. So far he eats well, and sleeps good. He loves to squirm around and is persistant to have his hands free.

Several people have already inquired if he has LPI like James, or if they will test for this. Indeed they are, via a urine test and some blood work. As always, results will come in time. As I have the priviledge to hold this precious bundle in my arms, I cannot but stand in awe of our mighty creator who has intricately woven this child in his mothers womb, and has entrusted another of His children into our care.
