EPILOG

December 26, 2008

WE HAVE AMAZING NEWS.

On December 21, 2008 at 2:30 AM, little Miss Opal Maliha Howard came to join us after a most tumultous year. She was born C-Section due to being breech. She weighed in at 8 pounds 10 ounces and is 21 inches long. She has lots of sandy blonde hair, blue eyes, and is very fair complected. She is the exact image of Jonathan's newborn pictures. She will be called Opal or "Little O" for short after Jack's Mother who is 96 years old and resides in Lexington, KY.

Jonathan stayed with Megan the entire 5 days she was in the hospital. The baby stayed in the room with them. They all arrived home safely on Christmas morning. Everyone is doing beautifully.

Courtenay and I left Boston on Friday, December 19, my Dad's 85th birthday barely missing a major winter snow storm as we headed to Los Angeles. We plan to be here until January 3, 2009 enjoying family and getting acquainted with "Little O".

We feel very blessed to have all of you share our ups and downs of this challenging and difficult year that is coming to a close with new life and hope in this beautiful little new Howard addition. We pray that the Lord will bless and keep you, make His eyes shine upon you and be gracious unto you and give you His peace that passess all understanding by His magnificence grace and love.

With love to each of you,
Carolyn and family
