So, Monica outdid herself in her gift giving for my birthday this year. At 2:47 p.m. today, she gave birth to our new beautiful daughter, Rosalie Katelin Ritchie.
Rosalie was 6 lbs. and 19 inches. Mom and baby are resting and we are looking forward to introducing Rosalie to all of her new family and friends. Here's a first look at little Rosalie. More photos will come in the days, weeks and years ahead.

God has continued to bless us more than we could ask or imagine - First through salvation in Christ - followed by innumerable examples of His gracious provision and love. In all things, including the addition of our daughter, we give God all the thanks and all the Glory.
We pray that the Holy Spirit will enable Rosalie to respond to the Gospel with saving faith early in her life. We pray that He will do the same for you today. The best is yet to come, for those who rest in Christ. There is so much more in store for us, even more wonderful than celebration days like today.
