2 teeth in 3 days
Isaiah is feeling fine. Low blood counts don't typically affect the way he feels. We're feeding him lots of iron and good supplements and praying for his immune system to be strong. We go back to the clinic on Wednesday.
He's lost 2 teeth in the last 3 days, leaving a significant hole in his grill. The top one came out when his sister yanked a water bottle out of his mouth; the lower we pulled out this afternoon because "it was time." Here's his note he stuck under his pillow (I think he must have dictated it to his sister).

overheard...
Carmen: Isaiah, you've got to start doing something with your hair. You look like a banty hen.
Isaiah: I already told you, I don't care!
Carmen: Well you should!
Isaiah: (pauses, appears to think, then states as a matter-of-fact) But I don't!

low counts... shoot!
Would you pray for strong health and protection from disease? Thank you for your strong support.

summer's last sprint
I ran a one mile run. It was hard! I thought I might stop running when I was halfway done. I started to cramp in my side. I ended up finishing in seventh place. I was proud of myself for finishing in seventh place. As soon as I finished I was very tired. I thought next time that I ran a mile like that I should probably try going slower at the first part of the race. - Isaiah

Matthias – “Gift of God” A disciple of Jesus who follows in humble anonymity until (in Acts 1:26) he is chosen by God for leadership. He serves faithfully his whole life.
Sienna and Isaiah prayed for a baby for a long time. We joyfully receive Matthias as a gift from God.
Our hearts are filled with praise for this baby and for his peaceful, safe home birth.

beautiful day
Our baby boy was born at 11:28 a.m. today!
Carmen's contractions began at about 3:30 a.m. She labored hard and then pushed for about 35 minutes. She was an absolute warrior: focused and strong. I am so proud of her.
Both mom and baby are doing well. We are so grateful for his health. He's slept most of the afternoon and is nursing well.

We're sleeping on his name and will joyfully announce it in the morning.
Thank you for praying for us and cheering us on. It was an absolutely beautiful day.

man club
We started at Pink Box Donuts at 6:30. Then it was off to the American River Confluence for an early morning swim and a lot of rock jumping, rock throwing, and gold mining. Great time with some solid dads and great boys - all "who would be men."
On the way out we found a "geo cache" with the help of Steve's GPS unit. The hunt was exciting; the contents not so much.
