March Madness

Little Zachary, Jr. just turned five weeks old! We can tell he is growing as he's put on 2 lbs since we brought him home from the hospital. He likes to sleep, eat and poop right now! We are very blessed that he is a happy baby who doesn't fuss or cry excessively. The past couple of weeks we've been able to bring him to church, a cookout for UNCC students and to a wedding in Durham. He is a joy to be around and we love him very much! We would love your prayers for him and for us as parents. Below is a passage of Scripture that we have been praying for Zachary.


Colossians 1:9-10, "And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God."
