meet our sweet little boy...

meet our sweet little boy...



Hudson James

was born at 5:03pm on March 20, 2009
He weighs 8 lbs 4 oz and is 21 inches long
He is absolutely adorable....
with a full head of dark brown hair and steely dark eyes
(although the jury is still out since Hudson's big brother Jake was born with the same coloring!)

Once we are home, I'll post the story of our day and more pictures of Hudson... In the mean time we just wanted to introduce our new guy and tell you we are all doing well!

Incredible! Loved being with you and holding Hudson! Here's a few quotes about a prior "Hudson", Hudson Taylor, a great man of the faith! (note the full name!)

"More than any other human being, James Hudson Taylor, ….made the greatest contribution to the cause of world mission in the 19th century." -Ralph D. Winter ”

“ "He was ambitious without being proud ... He was biblical without being bigoted... He was catholic without being superficial ... He was charismatic without being selfish." -Arthur F. Glasser
