Meeting Grandpa and Grandma Witzig

Kyla Annelle, 

You met your great grandpa and grandma Witzig tonight. Grandpa was turning 97, so we met them at the Beefhouse for a family celebration. 

My favorite part of the evening was after we had tried to take a good picture of you, Elias and the great grandparents. 

You spontaneously looked up at grandma, and gave her this adorable grin. 

I'm sure that blessed Grandma and warmed her heart. 

I always hope to be like my grandma Witzig when I grow up. And it's so sweet to have a picture of you looking up at her. My prayer for you is that you can become a woman of faith and mercy, like her. 

Thank you for making our night so memorable, Little Nell.

I love you! 

Your adoring mommy 

Eric's Year and a Half in Review

This is a PDF taken from a Christmas letter that I designed and wrote, but never sent out in January due to morning sickness. This summary of Eric's major life events is pretty accurate (though it only shows medical school life events). YES, he does have a life outside of medical school, it just mainly involves wife and kids.

Birth of a Daughter & Resuming a Blog

I guess it takes a life-changing event to make me start up blogging again: our second child, a little girl has now joined our family.

To make myself feel better about not having kept up with this blog, I'll have to post a year and a half's wrap up on all Elias has been doing. It's more for my sake than for anyone else. :) 

But for now, I'm just posting to say Kyla Annelle Frantz is here and healthy (well she's been here since August 4.)

Kyla - Victorious
Annelle - (Combination of her grandmother's middle names: Ann (Gma Frantz) and Nell (Gma Zeller)) Gracious and Merciful Light

Our prayer for our daughter is that she will be victorious in Christ and spread the gracious and merciful light of the gospel to those God brings into her life.

"We are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:37-39
