Introducing: Noah Daniel

Starting Thursday afternoon, we were getting anxious to meet our son, and knew it would be any day.  Very early Friday morning,  just after midnight Jenny's water broke and the contractions started almost right away.  Knowing the time was almost here, Jenny called her midwife, Lori, and we raced to the birth center in South Carolina.  It was more dramatic and quicker than with Ashlyn, and after arriving around 1:45, Jenny was clearly ready to go!  After some intense labor, Noah was born into the world at 2:31am.  8lbs, 11oz and 21.5 in long.  The Lord is good.

Call us crazy, but we left by 5:15am and were home soon after!  Noah is a handsome boy who has already begun to breastfeed and has slept pretty well.  He seems more quiet than our girls, but we're sure that will change!

Thank you all for your love, texts, calls and prayers.  Noah is such a blessing and we're excited for you all to meet him in person.  Special thanks to Grammy and Grampa for being here and helping more than we deserve!  See the rest of you soon!

Yawn!


Hey guys!


Look at those long arms!


One of our favorite things: watching the girls interact and sweetly care for Noah.


Bruising much less in day 2!


Smirk!

Congrats, Haller's. All the "girl's" look super proud, especially the awesome mama! ( I'm sure Dan is proud, too). He's a handsome little keeper.

Thank you Lord for another grandchild, you are so merciful and graceful, and we don't deserve to be blessed with one of your children. Give us all the strength and wisdom we'll need to give Noah (and all of the others) the nurture and love they'll need to become great servants of yours. AND WAY TO GO DAN AND JENNY!!!!! AMEN

Blessings to your little Family.
God is Great. Glad you are home already.
In glancing at his name, at first I thought it said: Notre Dame. LOL
Love, Aunt Carrie
