When What You've Labored For Isn't What You Expected!

WOW!  What a Summer of Transformation!!  The silence is broken, the blogging drought is over, heralding the news of the hour...the 5th greatest moment of my life (1st - Meeting Jesus; 2nd - marrying the most wonderful woman in the world; 3rd - birth of JD; 4th - birth of Danielle; and 5th...)  THE BIRTH OF OUR BRAND NEW BABY!!!!

On Friday evening at 9 o'clock, we (yes, we...believe me) gave birth to a 9lbs, 6.4oz, 21" long....baby BOY!!!!  Yep!  I said, BOY!!!  We thought it was to be a girl!   The ultrasound at 20weeks from the hospital confirmed it was a girl!  The room is adorably vintage "shabby chic." Pinks, greens, cremes, and golds and TONS of pink bows, shoes, clothes, hats, socks, burp cloths, pacifiers, wash cloths, etc adorn the space!  Even a hand painted canvas that matches perfectly the roses in the Belle Notte bedding reads  "Natalie Elizabeth!"  The walls stenciled with flourishes and roses, plus the antique glass knobs on the diaper changing table...all scream...."beautiful princess!!"  However, I don't know where this "beautiful princess" is or when I'll see her.

NATHAN DEAMON SCAPIN took the world by surprise as he entered the scene and not even the doctor was prepared for this! :)  After a grueling 21 hours in the hospital, 4-5 big "pushes" and out he comes...our "gift" from God (as his name means).  God, in His providence, has blessed us with another awesome son to raise into a man of God to do great things for the Kingdom of God in the earth, harass his "older" sister, pee in the yard, and be a blessing to all those around him.  What a HANDSOME "little man!"

As the Summer of Transformation is ending...our story is just beginning!  Stay tuned for more news and pics to come!

Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!  Romans 11:33
