Sleepless in Escondido

The thought and idea of having a baby was an easy one for Andrea... for me, not so much. In fact for a couple of months I didn't even want to talk about the subject (a "moratorium" of sorts). Three days of actually having Ethan and I cannot imagine my world without him. Don't misunderstand - I'm just beginning to barley scratch the surface as to the change that is taking place as a result of having a baby. Some of the change (i.e. sleeplessness) isn't easy, but he sure is a blessing.

I had to run up to Murrieta this afternoon to teach my class on Isaiah at the Bible College and all I could think of the whole time I was there was getting back to see Ethan and Andrea. Ok, so I thought a little bit about the actual text (chapters 28-33), but my thoughts kept straying. How could they not when your wife texts you with pictures like this...?

this one is actually from yesterday, but you get the picture.

The sweetest thing...

Look at all that hair

Ethan David!!!

I think I can honestly say that this has been the most difficult, awe inspiring day of my life!

Ethan was born at 11:39pm on the 25th... 7 lbs 13 oz and 21 inches. God is truly gracious and good. Andrea is doing well - and at 2:15am Ethan is well, asleep in my other arm as I type on my iPhone :)
