Chloe Rae Kiser

We introduce to you Chloe Rae Kiser. Chloe – for the house church leader in the church of Corinth (1 Corinthians 1:11). Rae – for my Grandmother’s middle name – Geneva Rae Kiser – a woman of great faith and perseverance.

Chloe was born at 12:29 p.m., Friday, October 2. She weighed 8 lbs. flat and was 19.5 inches long.

I giggled and cried off and on for several hours after she was born. It was a magical thing.

What once was thin air is now flesh and bone and ligaments.

What once was nothing is now someone.

What once was a dream in the mind of God, as one of my friends would say, is now body, soul and spirit.

O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth….from the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise…. (Psalm 8:1-2)

    congratulations! she’s just beautiful…bright eyes, full lips, precious sneeze.

    of course, ryan is as cute as always. the monkey on the “big brother” shirt is more than appropriate.

    take care of that wonderful wife of yours, give her my love.
