Dearest Jill, David and boys,
Congratulations on your beautiful new home addition. We pray God’s rich blessings over Luke, that he might forever keep in tune with the Lord God Almighty, and will discover early the plans God has for him. Hugs and kisses one and all …….. and Jill, since Mike was born on June 1st too (being the first day of hurricane season – LOL) we know in advance you will have a whirlwind of adventure ahead of you. We pray peace over you especially. Keep us updated!
Thanks so much!
JILL YOU LOOK FREAKING FANTASTIC AFTER GIVING BIRTH!!!!!
Congratulations, what a blessed family!
Can’t believe it took me nearly a month to watch, listen, and peruse these delightful pictures of our newest Little Papoose! May God continue to bless each and every one of you .. and YOU as a family – which is greater than the sum of its parts! He has designed and ordained a mighty purpose for the David Ballard Family! Watch and wait and SEE!!
I love you ALL — and a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our 8 year old, as well!
