We welcome our fourth son with joy and gratitude.

On the night of our 18th wedding anniversary, I went into labor and delivered our son the next morning. We thank the Lord for the birth of Elias Jeremiah Peterson.


And he shall go before Him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord. Luke 1:17 (KJV)




Has not the Lord made them one? In flesh and spirit they are His. And why one? Because He was seeking godly offspring. Malachi 2:15a (NIV)

He is adorable! But, how big, how long? Details? Okay, so does his name have anything at all to do with Mr. Boudinot? (just kidding) Love his name!
Blessings,
Tonya

What a complete treasure!!! - he is better than any old chest with boring gold coins in it!!

Give that little man lots of love, hugs, and kisses from our family.

I am rejoicing with you (and trying not to covet) - call me soon -
