We are thrilled to welcome Kyle Ranen into the world! He came to us at 5:40pm on Thursday, October 7, 2010. Kyle weighed in at a whopping 6 lbs, 9 oz, and is 19 3/4 in. We are so thankful for a healthy baby boy and are praising God for the grace He has shown us. We chose the name Kyle Ranen for it’s meaning: “Fair and Joyful.” Our prayer for Kyle’s life is that he would bring glory to the name of Jesus who is worthy of all of our praise. Kyle is healthy and strong and is ready to join the Fun House with a big sister and big brother who have welcomed him with lots of hugs and kisses. We couldn’t be more excited! Join us as we praise our Creator for His wonderful creation!
Psalm 139:14
14I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well.
At the links, you can find the birth announcement for Seth (2 yr old boy) and the birth announcement for Ella (4 yr old girl). Seth’s story is a pretty amazing one.
very excited!
Congratulations guys, so happy for you. What a handsome baby boy to join a beautiful family. I love you guys….wish we could be there to celebrate with you.
Give that sweet baby a hug and get some sleep! Hope to visit you soon…with food in hand…
What a sweet sweet baby, great job guys! LOVE THE HAT! XOXO
So I know how this is supposed to all be about Kyle… and for the most part it is. We’ve prayed for him many times this past week. And we can’t wait to meet him!
But, I wanted to say thank you for posting Ella’s birth announcement and pointing me to all the pictures of when she was born. I’ve “experienced” the other two births, but had the pleasure of falling in love with Ella later in her life. I’ve just spent the last 15 minutes looking at her baby pictures and smiling thinking of all the memories we’ll make with Karis and all the memories we’ve already made with her. It’s not the same as a parent, but I think I’m getting a glimpse of what it means to love kids equally and not have favorites 🙂 Granted they’re your kids, but 8 weeks is a little early to be expanding the family yet again.
So excited for you guys, love y’all!
Y’all!! He is so UNBELIEVABLY handsome. I’m taken over by him. What a gift, plan to hold him very soon.
We love you all,
