Today we learned that God has given us a son. We are thrilled and, of course, would be with another daughter. I keep thinking of how God has adopted us as sons. Not just sons and daughters, but that He actually uses the term "sons." This means much to a gentile. A son was entitled to an entirely different inheritance that merely daughters were in that time. God doesn't just let us live as his children, but as his sons, like the firstborn among many brethren, that we may receive a full inheritance. What a joy, we are not stepchildren to God, but joint heirs with Jesus.
We'll tell you our son's name, when we know it! Until then, if you have any suggestions, feel free to post them as comments. Tyler, I know "Tyler the Great" is offered up, and I thank you so much for the permission to use it. hehe.

Alright!! That's great news, excellent news, in fact it is the best news I have heard all week! Praise the Lord and congratulations...and uh...condolences to Dyllan; how did she end up taking the news of a boy invading the house in the near future?
Actually, Dylan took it really well. She's actually thrilled! She's set on a name that Jim doesn't care too much for, so there's another battle on the front. It's actually going to be a good blog post if she wins!
Thank you for the love, prayers, and congratulations!
Talk to you soon!
