Welcome To The World Shepard!

Alli and Korey welcomed their second SON, Samuel Shepard Nations, three weeks early this past Wednesday afternoon. He was a perfect 6 pounds 3 ounces and is absolutely beautiful. As many of you know Alli and Korey did not know what they were having, and I think we were all surprised when it was announced that Baby Nations was a little boy! Mommy and baby are both doing great and will get to come home sometime today! Already Alli is super Mommy! Watching her juggle both Eli's needs and feeding Shepard in her hospital room yesterday definitely gave me something to aspire to when Shaun and I welcome our newest little addition in September. I don't think Alli will have any problem adjusting to life with two.

Seeing a new life come into this world is simply amazing, and a huge reminder of how great God's love is for us. Alli's pastor visited yesterday and said that he believed, "seeing a new life enter this world is about as close as we can get to seeing God". And I 100% agree with the man!



Boy or Girl?
