Realizing this is long overdue, it’s time for introductions.
Our beautiful daughter, Talitha Renee Moats, was born on October 21 at 5:04 a.m. She weighed in at 7lbs 8oz and was 20.5 inches long. The Lord gave Ashton great grace as she labored for 22 hours, pushing for two of those hours. I will hopefully tell some of the “labor story” at a later date. Talitha has been a great joy to us, but not without its struggles. Ashton’s painful recovery from an awful tear, the long nights of getting up every half hour, and learning to be a parent have been difficult. But, there is a beauty in the struggle. God is using these things to give us a deeper understanding of his love for his children, a practical knowledge that we have never had before.
Here are few pictures of this little girl, one or two per week she has been with us. I hope that being a father and being home more will give me more incentive to blog more faithfully.
