hannah esther

our second child has arrived, 11 days ahead of schedule, and 12 days before this post announcing her.

6lbs, 13oz, 19.5", she was plucked out at 9:18am on April 4, 2009.

She's a loud one, too. Screams and sqwaks, shrieks and squeals - all delightful noises when the source is a 6lb soft, warm, and flailing infant.

She's a good sleeper, though, so we're anticipating another blessing like pooklet.

Contrary to our expectations, however, she is neither a pooklina or a pooklita. She is a Hannah, perhaps more than the pooklet is an Isaac. Although, more than a Hannah, she is, based on her disposition, Princess Nummies. Just don't threaten her nummies. Pooklet did that today and I threatened the skin cells on his hand.

modesty

CJ Mahaney has edited a book called Worldliness: Resisting the Seduction of a Fallen World that looks like a convicting powerhouse of a book.
His chapter on modesty, God, My Heart, and Clothes is available online and worth a look by everybody on the planet.
