Josiah Stephen

In case you didn't receive the church e-mail, or see it on Facebook, here's the news: our son, Josiah Stephen Heitland, was born on Nov 21 at 2:44 am. Lori and Josiah are still in the hospital, doing very well, and anticipate coming home tomorrow. He was 21" long and weighed in at 8 lbs even. This was our best delivery yet, and we are very grateful for God's kindness to us.
Here's a shot of our new little buddy with his hovering support team. He's going to have a precarious early existence...

And here's a close-up from this afternoon.

I'm sure Lori will have much better shots in the days ahead.
