Introducing....Levi Casey

With huge thankfulness to the LORD we want to introduce to you Levi Casey Lodder! He was born this morning at 9:15am, weighing in at 7lbs, 9 ounces. Mother and child are doing well (so is dad, in case anyone cares.) In a brief interview with Levi he stated that he loves his daddy very much but he is glad that he looks like his mom. He is ready to tackle this world, one nap at a time. And he likes his big sister Maia, because she hasn't poked him in the eye, yet, and shared with him the big apple she was eating. Mother and child are staying over at St.Joes, and D.V. willl be headed home tomorrow. A thankful dad, Randy

Congratulations, Randy and Karen and big sister, Maia! We're excited for you and praise God that He made everything well. Hope you get your strength back soon Karen! Wish we could meet little Levi like we did his big sister when she was born:(. Enjoy every moment and any sleep you can get. Love and prayers, Nad and Ian, Jono, Karlyn and Caleb

Cutie! Congratulations all of you! God's blessings as you recuperate, Karen, and may God give you all a beautiful time getting used to each other. Soon Maia won't remember life with Levi. And Randy, Allan and you will have to have a race some other time to determine who would have beat whom ....

Dear Family Lodder

Congratulations with your new little boy. We wish you the Lord's strenght in raising him. And what a blessing that all went well. We see you went back to Canada to have the baby. Probably a lot more safe then back in Haiti. Enjoy your two little ones and your family. WE wish we could visit but Bolivia is far away. With much love and prayers from Derrick and Christine, Maralina , Nathan, Vincent and Daniel de BRuin
