Congratulations to the Carmody's!


Karen, Mike, Victoria, Austin and Samara have a baby brother on the way. We are so thrilled to have shared in their great news. We can't wait to meet little Denver. I have swiped from their blog the following...

It's a boy!!!
We are so excited to announce that God has blessed us with another son. We finally received “the call” late this afternoon!!!

He is just over one month old . . . born December 20, 2008 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

We have named him: Denver Jacob Baheran

Denver is a name we both really like.

Jacob is after Grandma Zandstra (her middle name is Jacoba)

Baheran is his Ethiopian name – given to him by his birthmother

He is the cutest little guy that you ever did see! Unfortunately you’ll have to take our word for it because we won’t be emailing his picture at this point. Things are different from when we adopted Samara from China and we are not legally allowed to post his picture online at all until he is officially our son. A court proceeding has to take place in Ethiopia before he is legally our child and that may take a few months. If and when you see us in person we will gladly show you the picture. In the meantime, we will keep you posted along the way.

Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
