Psalm 127:3

Yesterday Erika woke up early with a list of errands to run. She needed to stop by Kinko's to pick up our display for our missionary table, drop off the letters at church we are mailing to our church family, as well as a host of other odd "to do's" in preparation for Italy Night!

Some time before noon I got a call from Erika who was at Barnes & Nobles buying a baby book. I was pleasantly suprised to hear her say, "Today is the day!" We needed to go to the hospital because our second baby girl was going to be born!


Ecc. 4:9 - Two are better than one!



Our little Ellia Mariela Barone was born on July 24th at 7:44 PM. She is 20.5 inches long and weighed in at 7 pounds and 13 ounces. So tiny and beautiful and of course she has the trademark "Barone brown" hair!

The little mini cries are so cute - ahhh...ahh...ahhh.... Erika and I are very excited for Natalia to get to meet her baby sister. We cannot believe that our baby is a big sister! Natalia has been very loving with her mama's belly and loves kissing her baby dolls, so we think it will be a wonderful bond.

Children are an heritage of the Lord!! How beautiful she is. I will be praying for all of you as you adjust to a new baby - especially during your deputation.
