New Nephews!!

Many of you know our families so we thought you would enjoy seeing pictures of our two new nephews. Yep, all boys and all have names starting with "J" - what a hoot! We are so glad our little Joel will have boy cousins his age to play with. What an extra sweet blessing from the Lord!

Jayden Jonathan Vegter - born to Jon and Hope Vegter on Tuesday, December 4th.

Jayden was born with a diaphragmatic hernia - which meant half of his diaphragm was missing. By God's awesome working, Jayden has already had surgery to correct the diaphragm and move all his organs that were up in his chest cavity back to their proper places and he is off of the ventilator and only has a small oxygen tube now. He is even nursing and swallowing already. He is doing so well they are talking of allowing him to go home in the next few weeks. What a miracle little Jayden is!! We know God is always at work but it is so thrilling when we are able to actually see His mighty hand!

Jack William Allen – born to Nathan and Denise Allen on Friday, December 7th.

We thank the Lord that little Jack is healthy and he and Denise are doing great. Jack makes number 4 for Nathan and Denise. They have Rachel (10), Samuel (9), and Andrew (4) - all pictured here with my parents.
