I just got a letter from Kristen and Kevin (Britt's sister and her husband) and they've had a Baby girl! Here's the letter
Hello dear friends far and near!Most of you have probably already heard that we are the extremely proud parents of the most beautiful little girl on earth who came flying into the world on Sunday November 5th at 9:08 in the morning! She weighed 6 pounds and 13 ounces and was 49.5cm long and we were in love with her immediately (which was good since there was really nothing too "lovely" about the labor process! But, I shouldn't complain, seven hours from start to finish is pretty intense but relatively short for a first-time mom. only now can I acknowledge that it was a blessing!).Her name is Maisha Brittany Grace.MAISHA (mah-EE-shah) is the Kiswahili word which means LIFE. amidst all the challenges and pain of the past years she reminds us that the only one who gives us meaning and purpose and hope in our lives here on earth is Jesus Christ who has promised his followers "life and life to the full." even in the midst of trials and tears. even at only 13 days old she is so full of life and promise.BRITTANY was, of course the name of my sister, Maisha's dear auntie who she will meet in heaven one day. and GRACE is what we have learned to live on and hopefully what we are able to give to others too. Grace is also what Maisha needs as her parents learn the ropes of loving and caring for her!Anyhow, we are doing very well and believe it or not, parenting instincts have totally taken over the both of us adult Dyckers! I am healing well and as of two days ago am able to walk my normal pace and distances which is a special blessing for sure. Please join us in celebrating the arrival of Maisha. the arrival of LIFE.Hope you can open up the attached photos of our little popsicle princess!Blessings.Kevin & Kristen
Another little Brittany!
