{ Ours }

As every prayer prayed for us was so beautifully answered

Lucy Wren

Arrived ever so sweetly at home, on April 14th, at 6:40 am
8 lbs. 14 oz. + 21 inches long


The timing couldn't have been more precious as Jack + Annabelle woke up Thursday morning to her very first cries.



Annabelle is flying high, with a baby sister to hold, sing to and dote on. She climbed into bed with us this morning looking for Lucy with a sleepy: " Mom, we just adore her, don't we?!"



As you can see Jack is pretty tickled with her.
He calls her baby or just "whaaa.." for short.


Him with her.
Melts me hardcore.

She's really, really sweet and soft and she smells like heaven and at three days old we've hardly heard her cry. And when she does it's sounds more like a chirp.

We fight a little over who gets to hold her next...as we soak up + drink in her newness and the pure miracle of love, of joy, of life. Of the gift that she is to us, straight from the heart of Jesus.
