Our Little Arrow Finally Arrived!!

Jeriah Alvin Krahn made his appearance on January 20, 2011 at 4:14 a.m.  He was 7lbs. 9oz. and 20 in. long.  We were so happy that he finally arrived safe and sound!

Here's the proud Daddy getting him dressed for the first time.
We named him Jeriah because it means, "taught by Jehovah" and we have been going through a season where God has been teaching us a lot of truths from His Word.  And his middle name, Alvin, is after Amos' Grandpa on his Mom's side.  It is his middle name as well.  For those of you who are interested, Alvin means, "noble friend." 

Mommy and baby. :)  This was taken a couple of days later.  Labor was 22 hrs. from start to finish.  Active labor to finish was about 10 hrs.  We praise God that all went well (if you can ever say certain parts of labor "went well" :)) just took awhile, but thankfully went a lot faster than big brother David's birth! 

Daniel and David with thier new little brother.  Our "Three Musketeers!":)  They both just love Jeriah!  Daniel will ask, "hol Jiah?"  David will point to him and touch him saying, "GeeGee!  GeeGee!"  It's sooo cute!

Daddy and his three boys!  What blessings from the Lord!  We thank God for all of the gifts that he has given us, but right now especially for Daniel Arthur, David Alejandro, and Jeriah Alvin!
