Happy Birthday!

On Thursday, March 6, we celebrated Owen's birthday as a family by welcoming Baxter Gillan Purdy into the world! He was born at 6:22 am and was 8 lb. 5 oz. Owen's birthday is March 6 at 7:01am! God was gracious to us and protected us all through Baxter's delivery. God has also been gracious in walking us through these first few days of life as a family of four. Owen has been adjusting remarkably well and Baxter is eating like a champ. We are all very tired and a bit anxoius about what life will look like the next few days and weeks, but we are seeking to hope in the Lord and His strength. Please pray for us!
