Happy Birthday Luka!

Luka Paul Shaarda


Arrived Jan. 14, 2009 at 3am

Weight 8lbs 15oz and 20in long

Mandy & baby are doing very well. It was a quick two hour labor and delivery. We praise God for the safe birth of our son! Luka is the name for Luke in the Bible in both Nigeria and Uganda. Paul is Josh’s father’s name. Lydia and Grace are very excited about their new baby brother. Thanks for all your prayers. We will keep you posted on Luka.

He is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!! Congratulations! And Mandy, you're not allowed to look that good right after giving birth!!!

I love the name, too . . .

As someone who grew up with the opposite proportions (two older brothers and me the younger sister), I'm a bit jealous of Lydia and Grace's strategic position in the family! Now they can make HIM eat bugs! LOL.

ps that was from Lorraine--for some reason, it shows me generically as "CRWM".

Congratulations. I have been thinking about all of you and wondering when that baby was coming for about a week now. He looks like his sisters. All Lydia's prayers for a brother worked.

Congratulations!!! Boys are just as much fun as girls!! Blessings on the rest of your time in the States. Wish you had supporting churches in the Pacific Northwest so we could hear your presentation. Maybe one of these times we'll be in Michigan at the same time.
