Baby Jedidiah is here!

We're excited to announce the arrival of:

Jedidiah Cannon Hanley
August 27, 2011
8:30 am Bangkok time
7 lbs. 5 oz.
19.5 inches long

Name meaning:
Jedidiah- “friend of God” or “beloved of the Lord”
Cannon- The Biblical canon is the set of books Christians regard as divinely inspired and thus constituting the Christian Bible

Our prayer is that Jedidiah would grow to know the Lord and choose to be a follower of our Savior (a Friend of God). We also pray that as he grows that he would learn to love the Bible and use it to guide his steps day by day.

Join us in Praising the Lord for our precious gift!

We're so glad that Grandmom was able to come and join us in Thailand on Jedidiah's arrival. She has been such a blessing to us as I recuperate.


Eliza enjoys holding Jedidiah... but just a few seconds is long enough before she says, "Mom, can you take it away now." :)


Miriam couldn't wait to hold Jedidiah and now can't wait for him to come home from the hospital. I'm glad that I'm nursing him, otherwise I may never be able to take him away from her.
