Blogging will be suspended a few days due to the arrival of our fifth child- but first girl!- this morning at 8:54. Abigail Calene was 8 pounds 11 ounces and was 20.5 inches long. Mom and baby are doing well, and big brothers are very proud. Coming as she did on Easter Sunday – as mom had long predicted- she is our little reminder of new life.
WOW--congrats to you guys!!! As I'm reading your news out loud to William, he laughs and says, "The Van Neste's have a girl! That poor little girl...." We're excited for you guys.
ReplyDeleteGod bless,
Glenna & William
Congratulations, Dr. V.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Dr. Van Neste! I know you are excited. We have a little girl in my family and after two boys who are 10(Alex) and 13(me) years older than her, things are quite different.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless you and your family,
Tyler Ervin
p.s. See you in a few hours.
WOW! How exciting!
ReplyDeleteWe are so happy for you guys.
Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteWe have three boys and one girl. You're in for a treat!
Dear Dr. Van Neste,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Our house is brimming over with girls, and we boys love it!
Love in Christ,
Jeff
P.S. The best age is between 3 and 5. That's when they just want to hug and kiss Daddy all the time!
Ray and Tammy we are so happy for you all... Abigail Calene what a beautiful name, are we going formal or informal with it (Abby)?
ReplyDeleteWe cannot wait to meet her some day. Give Tammy my best.
Love
KK
Congratulations, Ray! Love and prayers from our family to yours.
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Ray! Welcome to the FSGOA (Future Shot Gun Owners of America)! Even though my daughter is only 11 mos. old, I've already started looking through gun catalogs, and am looking for an older man to mentor me on how to properly clean it. After all, I've only got 15 years or so until those evil boys start showing up at my front door!
ReplyDeleteI'm really happy for you and Tammie. I pray she comes to Christ at an early age and lives to the Glory of our Heavenly Father.
Congratulations. 5 children, wow. It's kind of scary that Mrs. Van Neste predicted it, you might need to talk to her about that.
ReplyDeleteBaby before blogging? Where are your priorities Ray!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! :)
Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! The Lord has truly blessed you guys, but I don't have to remind you of that. May He keep you all in his grip.
ReplyDeleteSam.
Thanks to all for your kind words and encouragement.
ReplyDeleteBrett, you know where I'm from ... there's nothing future about my shotgun ownership! Now, I'll just have a new use for the one I have! :)
