arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them..." Psalm 127:3-5a (NIV)Well, he is finally here. Brittany gave birth to our firstborn son, Luke Michael, on Saturday night at 11:19 p.m. The lively young man weighed in at 6 lbs. and 14 oz. and was 20 inches long. He is so very beautiful as you can see for yourself. Both Luke and Brit are doing wonderful. Brit did a wonderful job the whole time and I am so very proud of her. Now we are beginning to understand what sleep deprivation really means. :)
Brit and I are so thankful to the Lord for this precious gift He has
given us. Children truly are a great blessing from the Lord. We are so thankful to Him that all went well and that mom and son are doing well. What a great responsibility now we have to raise this little one in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Our greatest desire is to see this little one come to Christ at a young age. While he seems so innocent, he is not. God's Word tells us that this little one right now is a sinner, he was born that way. But I already told Luke the other night that someone came to pay for his sin. He paid for all of our sin. Hallelujah, What a Savior.So Luke is our first arrow in the quiver. Who knows how many arrows we will end up with except the Lord. But our desire is that he is an arrow that can be used for the service of the Lord and will be one that flies after the Lord's path.
Thank all of you for your prayers during this time. It is great to know that many are praying for us as we begin this new phase in our lives. May God receive all the glory.One important note to mention. Luke is already taken nicely to supporting his favorite college sports teams - the Mississippi State Bulldogs. He is still deciding between the Cubs and Sox. :)

Luke, Aaron is your father
Luke,
You have two wonderful parents to love and take care of you - you're starting out life very blessed!! You must not however, choose the White Sox under any circumstances! :-) Lots of people are already anxious to meet you - me included!! Remember, your parents will love it if you sleep all day and are up all night - they really will! I'll have more tips for you along the way! Stay tuned!!
Luke you must understand that sometimes your daddy gets a little excited about the beloved college he mentions. Just remember, true Bulldogs (like myself) cheer for Duke.
AWWWW!!! He's very cute, Aaron! We were all very exited and jumping out of our chairs when we got your e-mail @ camp.

Awww! Congratulations! That kid better be a Cubs fan! Tell Brittany I said hi! Hey, now you can introduce Luke to Star Wars and tell him you are his father. Intimidation, it works (insert sarcasm here). I can't wait to meet you, Luke!
Hey Aaron, I can't wait to meet him in person he is darling! Isn't it so amazing how something so little can change your life in such a BIG way? It'll be interesting to have our two boys meet and see how they will react to each other.
Love and prayers,
Nancy Doyens
