The peculiar quality of "joy" (Eucatastrophe) in successful Fantasy can thus be explained as a sudden glimpse of the underlying reality of truth - The Christian joy, the Gloria, is of the same kind; but it is preeminently (infinitely, if our capacity were not finite) high and joyous. But this story is supreme; and it is true. ~ J.R.R. Tolkien

Merian Marie!
Much has been going on, from random weeping sessions (usually accompanied by severe lack of sleep and hunger), to birthing a chid (that happened before the lack of sleep), family visits, and spending time with my beautiful new daughter. God has also been reminding and teaching me many things, not least His sovereignty and timing. I will have to post more meat after the 16th (i.e. after I do my happy dance at turning in Grades!), but for now, here are some of my favorite recent pictures:

Praise the Lord for the little one! I will keep praying for Mama and baby Bowers.
The "Bower's Blessing" is so beautiful!! We are so excited for you,Andy, and grandpa and grandma!!Welcome to Grace Merian Marie!
Look at that smile!!! I'll keep praying for sleep as sweet as those fat little cheeks.
I think she inherited my cheeks - seriously, I could weigh 100 pounds and still have chipmunk cheeks. Oh well, Andy thinks they're cute on me and her :).
Leila, it was so good to see little Merian this weekend. So good to see you a new mom! God is great!
