The past several weeks have been quite busy around our household. On September 2nd, the Lord blessed us with the birth of Sarah Jane Brubaker! She was born at 9:10 AM and almost broke the scale at a whopping 5lbs. and 6oz. (*Big Grin*) Her head-to-toe came in at 18.5 inches. For those of you remembering the circumstances surrounding the birth of our first child, Chloe, you are probably wondering how Sarah’s birth compared. Liz and I have concluded that this latest addition was slightly more complicated than the quick, unexpected cabin birth of Chloe. There were no major complications or concerns, but my wife will tell you that this birth certainly took more effort on her part!
It is now about two weeks later and Liz and Sarah are both doing very well! Many people have been immensely helpful during this time of adjusting to two babies in the house. Two people particularly worthy of mention are our mothers who have both sacrificed in a number of major ways for us recently. (We thank the Lord for them!)
In the coming weeks we will be setting our minds to upcoming ministry opportunities. We are thrilled to be serving each week in our home church, but we are also excited to be on the road participating in the ministry of evangelism into which God has led.
