Our Little Christmas Gift!

"I have prayed for this child and the Lord has granted me what I asked of him.” 1 Samuel 1:27

Brett was born on December 2nd in Georgia! He weighed 7 pounds 3 ounces and was 21 inches long. We got the news at 8 this morning!
He has very long fingers and Debbie at An Open Door tells us Bryan is going to have a tall son!
Alice, Brett's foster mother wrote this about Brett on Wednesday:
"He went to the doctor today. She said he's great. He weighs 7lb-12oz and is 22½ in. long...He is eating 4 oz or more at a feeding and sleeping at least 4 hours between feedings. He has a very sweet nature, is staying awake a little more and is a sound sleeper. He talks in his sleep! He is quite hot natured and doesn't like to be overdressed. He is a back sleeper -- really prefers it. Cord is gone; he has had a good bath and really seemed to enjoy the water. I think he was trying to swim."

Brett, Momma and Daddy are coming...we can't wait to hold you in our arms!

    My tears fall as I write to say what a wonderful blessing our Lord has bestowed upon you two this Christmas.
    I rejoice with you as you rejoice in your new son. My the Lord grant you wisdom, patience and all you will need as your son comes home to you.
