ANNA KATHARINE IS HERE!



We are rejoicing as we look upon little Anna Katharine...God has richly blessed us with a beautiful baby girl. She weighed 7 pounds and 13 ounces. She was born on February 1st, 2008.


Everything went rather smoothly. I (Maya) was scheduled for induction and she was born after 5 hours of labor. I was up and running just a few days later! God is so merciful...He knows I needed to be able to look after the rest of my family. Of coarse, Kyle has been a wonderful, tremendous help...he has been so good to look after his wife! Having Grandparents here and friends to graciously fix meals has been a tremendous blessing too. We are just so thankful!!!


We had a hard time deciding on a name, but Anna Katharine has been the girl name we have liked since our oldest son was born. We love that it means gracious/favor and purity. We pray that she will be full of grace, have a pure heart and find favor with God.
The boys are tickled with their baby sister. She has received cards, drawings, flowers and various gifts from her brothers.

Mya, I am Joyce Williams and I attend Byne where my husband is minister of music. I have been praying for you for years and today got info on your blog site. I have been excited about your lives and all of your experiences but am glad I can now have some specific prayer needs to lift up. In Christ, Joyce

Maya,
Wanted to drop a quick note to say hello. I enjoyed our visits when you were home. Sorry to have missed seeing Anna Katherine before you all left. She is too adorable as well as all of your children. Hope you all are well. Tell Kyle hello. God Bless.
