Introducing Micah William Thompson!!

Our precious gift from God came into the world on Tuesday, July 15th at 3:24pm weighing in at 8lbs., 5 oz. and 20 1/2 inches long. He has beautiful blue eyes, reddish blond hair and is already very alert. We can't put into words how amazing and wonderful these last few days have been, what an experience. And we can't wait for you all to meet him soon! Here are some pictures to show you our world the last few days:Glen with Dr. Frields who delivered Micah Finally going home, yay!

"Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the
womb is a reward." Psalm 127:3

Awesome addition to the human race you guys! We are so excited for you and pray that all your hopes and aspirations as parents are being fulfilled by your precious little baby. Get ready for big league sanctification but also some of the most intimate blessings the Lord seemingly gives to his children.

Micah is a BEAUTIFUL baby boy and you know I can be a good judge! I love his name and am so happy that he arrived safe and sound. God has truly blessed you and Glen with this gift from above.
If you need me, I can be there with a carseat in just a few hours... :-)
With love and wishes for a few hours of uninterrupted sleep today,
Jeanene
