..it’s time to celebrate... This is take two since Grace deleted this message earlier this morning when I let her type. I wanted to write and congratulate

Daniel and Hannah Pierre

on the birth of their daughter

Zia Evangelina

yesterday at 1:18 pm. After an easy induction she was born 7lbs 2 oz and 19.5 inches long. She has dark eyes and dark hair and they hope to all go home sometime today or tomorrow morning. I am so thankful that after such a hard pregnancy Hannah was able to have such a positive birth experience. (We decided together that being 4 cm and 90% effaced helped a great deal!!) Both mom and baby are doing well! Pray for them as a family as they go from a family of 3 to a family of 4! Also pray for their son Alceo (2) as this will be a huge adjustment for him! Our other great news is that we found out this morning that our renters have gotten all of the utilities in their names and picked up the keys! They will be moving belongings in this week and moving in to live there Friday! I expect to receive our first rent check in the mail this weekend or early next week! We are so thrilled. This is not what we initially wanted but we are thankful that the Lord has relieved us of hopefully a years worth of mortgage and extra utility payments. Thank you all for continued prayers!!
