Last night at 7:25pm, my brother, Chad, and his wife, Melissa, welcomed their second child into the world.

The gender of this little one was truly a matter of suspense, for if a boy, it would be the 4th boy born into our family this year. And also because they, like the rest of us, don't find out what they're having in advance! 

So exciting! 

And it was, in fact, a little boy!!! 

And I am so proud of Melissa who delivered him naturally without the help of any medications. That's my girl.

We are so beyond blessed this year with the arrival of such precious treasures...

Praise the Lord for children and, in particular, the 2011 boys...

Dorien, Gage, Tagg and Morgan

I can only imagine what a gang of cousins you will all be. May the Lord use us to wisely guide, instruct and raise you into strong men of God - equipped to imprint this world in the name of Jesus Christ.

What a Merry Christmas!
