Aria is officially a big sister!!!

Tuesday, 11/12/07 at 9:23 pm by Anita MacDonald

That is right yesterday, the 10th December 2007, Asher James MacDonald was born.

He is a big, happy and thankfully healthy boy. (You may never see two parents of a newborn quite so excited by the sight of the first poopie nappy.)

As we reflect on the new arrival we thank God for giving us the dual blessings of Aria and Asher, who are both just as God intended them and will be a blessing to us for the rest of our lives. While they will take us on vastly different journeys they are both just the way that God meant them to be and we thank him for that.
