Blessed by Grace
I'm proud to announce that Evalyn Grace Rhody was born at 1:30 pm on Sunday, January 25th. She was so eager to meet her parents, she hardly needed Mommy to push at all (once we got to 'pushing' stage, Lisa only had to push 5 times).
Lisa is doing very well and left me stunned by her grit and grace during some rather sharp moments of labor. Both parents enjoyed spending their first (somewhat sleepless) night with their new daughter at the hospital.
Evalyn Grace is beautiful and healthy, having received the thumbs-up from the pediactric staff this morning. And she is obviously a very considerate little girl, because she gave her parents and both sets of grandparents plenty of time to beat the snowstorm that fell around them last night (about 6" of snow).
We should be heading home tomorrow. Pictures will be posted when when all get settled in.
Thanks to everyone for their love and support.

No words can express the joy we all felt here in Texas when we received the news! So many prayers sent heavenward over the last months were answered yesterday....God is so good! Can't wait to see the pictures...which unfortunately will have to satisfy us for now. We love you all and our prayers will continue as you begin this stage of life as a family!

I am so very happy for you and Lisa! I've talked with Kathy a couple of times since Evelyn Grace made her grand entrance into this loving family and was thrilled that all three of you are doing so well. Now I'm trying to talk her into stopping by my office on their return trip home Wed so I can see pictures. (This old computer of yours, Jason , is about to bite the dust! I don't think I'll be able to download any pics!)
Take care of your new little one and Lisa, and I hope to see you all very soon. God has blessed you with two very special people...Just as special as you are!!

EVALYN GRACE (and Mommie & Daddie, of course)
YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL !!
I hope that you'll take care of your Mommie & Daddie (because parents need of looking after too!).
We're all so happy that you have arrived and we look forward to meeting you in the future as the world unfolds around you.
Naps are so fine at your age. Enjoy them (and let Mommie enjoy a few of her own)!
