Thank you everybody!

(By Erik)

Here's a look at the design of a thank you card from Maggie's shower. I threw it together using InDesign, the same program we use to lay out The Christian Chronicle. Jeanie and her mom put them on the hostess gifts.

Maggie got quite a little haul at her baby shower, by the way. We've been blessed by so many members of our church family. In addition to the gifts, members of our class have been bringing by meals every other day. It's been great. (We've done this for couples in our class before. It's really nice to be on the receiving end!)

It's been so great to read all the encouraging e-mails and blog posts as well. As you might expect, we've had a lot of ups and downs these past two weeks as we've stumbled and bumbled our way into parenthood. Even though one of us is a pediatrician, it's a whole new experience raising your own kid! I already feel like I've learned a lot about the unconditional nature of God's love for us.

We continue to covet your prayers.

I love the card! You've come a long way from Motobots comics.
Seems like you're feeling what I did about parenting right away. It's the hardest thing ever and best thing ever.
