April 2014

We are loving our Alice! While we have quickly gotten back to our routine, somehow our camera and phones have been filling up so fast lately with our little girl!

"And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is." 
Ephesians 3:18

It's a GIRL!

"We love because he first loved us."   1 John 4:19
All good things come from God. With the miracle of the birth of our daughter we now understand a small portion of the love God has for His children.

Welcome to our family, Alice Rebecca Powell. She was born at 1:37pm on Friday, March 7th in Clarksdale, MS. She was 7lbs 10oz and 20.5" long. It was instant unconditional love.

 

Our family

 

She is named after Lindsey's grandmother

Alice Mitchell who lives in Chattanooga...

 

...and Rainer's late grandmother,

Rebecca Powell...

 

...and her mommy Lindsey Rebecca Powell.

 

Tired baby

Any day now...

Nine months later, here we are! Less than 2 weeks from due date. We still don't know our baby's gender and we are very excited to meet baby Powell!

It's been an amazing adventure watching my belly grow and feeling our baby moving around. And to the best husband ever: Rainer has been so supportive, helpful, kind, loving and taken such good care of me! We can't wait to meet our little blessing... any day now!
