3 Years!







Happy Anniversary to us! We celebrated 3 years yesterday (today we celebrated 3 years and 1 day).
The LORD's mercies are new every morning. Great is His faithfulness! We give thanks and praise to our Father in heaven for the many gifts He has given to us in the past 3 years. He has blessed us immensely and carried us through the waters, and His grace is sufficient by far. In Christ alone...our hope is found. His Joy is our strength.

Introducing....Maia Joy!!!

Introducing a Princess!

Born yesterday, May 11, at 3:35 pm, in Hamilton, at St.Josephs Hospital, and wieghing in at 7lbs 9 ounces - Maia Joy Lodder!

Both Mother and child are healthy and doing well. They stayed over at the hospital last night, but then came home this morning. Maia (pronounced My-a) loves to spend her time sleeping, feeding, making me fetch more diapers, and giving me BIG hugs! She was pretty alert all day yesterday, but today is fairly tired. I was hoping to take her outside and start teaching her how to play hockey but she has been sleeping all day today.

WE are hugely thankful to the LORD for her - what an incredible gift!
