Welcome to the world!

A couple in our small group had their son September 5. We're so excited for you, Steve and Lani! We have watched this couple grow (literally and spiritually!) the past year and it has truly been a blessing to have them in our lives.

And without much further ado, introducing Graham Coan Gertz!!!

8 lbs 8 oz, 21 inches long of sheer cuteness!

Lani had completely natural child birth and she is my hero. I have never given birth, but she, like every other woman I know that has gone through the natural birthing process, is truly amazing! Not only did she have natural labor, she looks absolutely amazing!!!

Craig and I visited the hospital when he was only two days old. We kind of broke up a family affair, both sets of grandparents and an aunt were patiently taking their turns holding the newest family addition when we arrived...and I butted in line.

It was so much fun to see such happiness and joy bottled up in one room surrounding one little person.

So now the next phase begins and we get to see Graham grow spiritually and physically. Congratulations again Steve and Lani!!!
