Happy Father's Day

Naomi, Johnathan, and Ezra want to say,
Happy Father's Day, Daddy! We love you!
And Happy Father's Day to our dads in Colorado, too!

He is Here!

The Boaz Family is proud to introduce our newest member, Ezra Kevin Boaz!
After going in Thursday morning for labor induction, Ezra was born at 10:23 am. He weighed 9 pounds 1 ounce and was 20 1/2 inches long.


We spent two days in the hospital, where Ezra met his Grandma Stata, his thrilled big sister and brother...




... and spent lots of time eating, sleeping, and getting to know us. He is healthy and so sweet!


We went home on Saturday, where we were surprised to discover that his Grandpa Stata had flown in for a quick visit before getting back to Colorado.



Welcome to the family, Ezra. We love you so much!!

Tomorrow

The wait is almost over... Tomorrow I am scheduled for an induction, so we hope to introduce Baby Boaz very soon!

Tonight we are picking up Grandma Stata from the airport, and we'll head to the hospital at 5 a.m. tomorrow morning.

So stay tuned - We'll post picture and the scoop as soon as we are able!

When Daddy Does a Craft Project

Kevin and the kids disappeared with armloads of boxes, paper, glitter, foam beads, glue and miscellaneous craft supplies the other evening. Here are the results of their artistic endeavors:
Johnathan's Armor of God, including the shield of faith, bike helmet of salvation (complete with windmill), paper bag breastplate of righteousness, cardboard belt of truth, and hockey stick sword of the Spirit.


Naomi felt that armor was not fitting for a princess, so she made a "purse of purity."


They spent the next morning shooting a film called "The Princess, the Knight, and the Robber," now showing in a Boaz living room near you.
