Wren Elise Barker has arrived!!!

Hello friends and family,

Thank you for all of your prayers, calls, notes of encouragement, and support, over these past nine months. Michelle and I are pleased to announce that little Wren Elise safely arrived at 4:46 p.m. on Saturday, May 3, weighing in at 8 lbs, 8 oz, and is 21 inches long. She is cute, precious, bright eyed (when she's awake), and has some surprising strength for just a one-day old.

Michelle did a wonderful job throughout it all and is doing well. We are looking forward to going home on Monday. Our first night with Wren helped us clearly understand why everyone kept telling us to get sleep before she comes. :0) We are exhausted, but our little one is completely worth it. We apparently have a huge learning curve, but we are grateful for many great parenting role models and for a Lord who is faithful.

We appreciate the role you have played in our lives, and are grateful for the people who will be in our little girl's life. Wren, Michelle, and I wish you all the best.

Sincerely,
Brance Barker
