Introducing Drake Reed Land

Reed was born on February 16, 2007.



He was 6 pounds and 3 ounces.



He was 18.89 inches long.



He is so wonderful! We are so excited and he is just beautiful. God has certainly blessed us for. It is so hard to be patient when waiting on the perfect baby for our family, but God has certainly honored our patience. We are so tremendously blessed and how much do the words "How great is our God" mean to us now!

Two years ago we lost our first child to miscarriage a week before Easter. Last year, we suffered another miscarriage a week before Easter. This year, our awesome and wonderful God has given us more than we ever dreamed we would have, a week before Easter!

HI Jeff & Abbey (and Reed)!
My name is Brooke Manning, and I came across your blog several months ago. I've been following you faithfully but have never commented before. I thought my first comment should be done once Reed arrived! He is DARLING!!! I know that you cannot wait to hold him and kiss on him!! What a blessing and what tremendous people you are for having been so faithful and patient while waiting on God's perfect timing!!!

By the way...Abbey knows my mother in law, I think. Carol Manning from Batesville. My husband wanted me to let y'all know that so you wouldn't think I was totally nuts for writing someone I didn't know! :)

CONGRATULATIONS again to your family!

Wow! I am so excited and I can't wait to welcome Reed to our church. No wonder you weren't in choir the other night -- but this is an excused absence. Just overwhelmed with happiness for you and Abbey. Love you both. Bitsy
