Family Portrait




Yesterday, thanks to the marvels of modern technology, Ben and I were given a delightful preview of Baby Boy Katterson, 15 oz and a very active youngster already.

We think he has daddy's nose, and he had one arm draped over his head for most of the ultrasound, which is how I generally sleep.

It's a staggering thing, to realize that all the while I've been puking and feeling worn out, God has been weaving together this marvelous little person... complete with a nose bone, little perfect fingers and toes, four chambers in his heart, a little diaphragm, brain development, and little femur bones.

Our prayer:


May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble!
May the name of the God of Jacob protect you!
May he send you help from the sanctuary and give you support from Zion!
May He remember all your offerings and
regard with favor your burnt sacrifices!
Selah.
May he grant you your heart's desires and fulfill all your plans!
May we shout for joy over your salvation
and in the name of our God set up our banners!

-Psalm 20: 1-4

  1. Love it. Can't wait to have a (another) sister to call as we wade through the foreign-ness that is bringing up BOYS... :)
