10 days ago, on August 14th, Joseph Luke was born. He weighed in at 11 lbs 2 … the same as Tim had been (boy #5). The labour was quick–2.5 hours–but we made it to the hospital with 45 minutes to spare. Katrina and Joseph were in the hospital for 3 days, and have been back with us for a week now. He is doing great–getting into a routine, sleeping for much of the night, and doing all the things that tiny boys should do. So that makes seven sons and two daughters; WOW, and Praise God!

I’ve been running the house for the past week, and will continue to do so for another week–homeschooling, laundry, cooking, etc. I’ll be back in the office next week, all things going according to plan.

Until then, my best to you.
