Introducing: Adison Jean


Introducing:

Adison Jean Sheppard

August 6.2007 at 12:47 pm
8 pounds 1 ounce And 21 inches long

Every good and perfect gift is from above… James 1:17



We would like introduce you to Drew's little sister - Adison Jean.

Mom and baby are doing great!

Lisa labored for 3 1/2 hours and pushed for 30 min - she did Awesome!

Adison came in at 8 lb 1oz (3674 grams for our European friends) and 21 inches (53.3cm) long.

Adison's middle name came from her grandmothers - the late Dorthy "Jean" Sheppard - Marc's grandmother, the late Wilma "Jean" Moeckl - Lisa's grandmother and Betty "Jean" (Jeannie DeHart) Moeckl - Drew and Adison's grandmother.

Some Bulgarian names were in the running for middle names or even an additional fourth name, such as: Sofia, Nadeshda and my favorite - Marcova. In the end we decided to avoid some future teasing and stayed with the family names - we think the name fits.

We know we are so blessed and we are very greatful!

Thank you so much for your prayers - each and everyone has been answered.

WOO HOO! Congrats, Sheppard family! Adison is BEAUTIFUL and I want Lisa's secret to looking like a fashion model only moments after birthing a child. What gives? :)

Congratulations & the pictures are wonderful. Nice to get a glimpse of your parents again, Lisa, and all 4 of YOU... wasn't it just yesterday we were praying for the right husband for you... :) God is so great beyond our understanding, and then with a newborn baby, born of love, we get a glimpse, just an amazing glimpse of what He's all about. Wow. You guys are gorgeous.

all our love, Wayne & Christa & "the boys"
