For those interested (and even if you are not, I’m telling you anyway), we will be at Christiana Hospital through Thursday morning.  If you get a chance, stop in and meet Jeremiah for yourself!  We’re in room 3B30.

Celebrate with us as we welcome Jeremiah Steven Jeantet into the world.  He was born on Tuesday, September 23, at 5:31pm.  He was 20.25 inches long and weighed 7 pounds and 9 ounces.  He is very healthy (as is Kim).  It was a long day, but an incredible joy as we welcomed Jeremiah into our family.  Check out all the pics.

Kim and I are just waiting.  We wake up each morning wondering if today is going to be the day we rush off to the hospital!  Keep praying for us as one day soon we will get to welcome our little boy into the world!

This time a year ago, I had just graduated from seminary and Kim and I were beginning our summer in New Orleans.  From there, we raced back to PA for Kelly’s wedding and then I began at GRPC, with Kim joining the staff of GCA, the church’s school, just a couple of weeks later.  We bought our first house in a new state.  The list of changes goes on and on.

Yet, for all of those changes, I can’t help but think that life’s about to change, this time in ways I can’t even imagine.  Those changes are going to seem minor compared to having a baby.  How cool that in a couple of months, I’m going to hold a baby boy in my arms.  That boy will is God’s own image and Kim and I will be entrusted to raise him in love, teaching him our holy faith.

Yep, life’s about to change.  And I can’t wait.
