We look forward to getting to meet and cuddle him one day, and hopefully live really close so we can babysit him!! We love you guys so much and wish we weren't half a world away!

Praise to the Lord. God is so good. Congratulations, Emily and Nathan. Owen is just absolutely precious. Creed said "Owen, ahhh...how sweet" and when he saw his picture he said "what a chunky monkey!"

We praise you God. Lord, our prayer is for your perfect timing. Our desire is for Emily and Nathan to have little Owen home very, very soon. Bless them.

Congrats!!!!

Enjoy preparing for your son!

What a cutie patootie! Congratulations and have fun getting ready. I can't wait to hear more news about him.

Wow what a blessing. Before long, your wait will seem as a blimp on the radar. Time will go by faster than you can ever dream and before you know it, you will have lived through teething, diaper blowouts (for Nathan to change, of course), crawling, walking, running, boo boo's, first words, first talking back, and first day at school. My point in bringing all that up, it so sieze the moment, make memories and remember who gave you your son each and every day. You are blessed and I'm so thrilled for the both of you.

Love you guys very much!
Jennifer and Ryan
