Welcome, Elias Lee

Elias Lee Sanderlin...two days oldDaddy and Elias...just a few hours old
Mommy, Elena, and Elias...one day old

The view outside our cottage in Oshkosh, Wisconsin the night before Elias was born. We are praying for Elias to grow up to be a man of God like his namesake in the Bible. For some who are wondering...Elias is the New Testament spelling for Elijah.

We welcome baby Elias Lee Sanderlin to our family in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. He was born on Thursday, July 24th at 1:56pm. He weighed 7 pounds and 14 ounces. He was 22 inches long and has a copper colored (blondish, brownish, reddish if all that is possible) hair...not like Elena's. He looks like Abby and the Burtt side of the family.

Abby is doing wonderful! Thank you to everyone who was praying for her on Thursday and throughout the year. We thank the Lord for a wonderful new baby boy. Elena loves him and always wants to kiss him. She is being a great big sister.
