From the Anizors!

Hi everyone,

We just wanted to let you know that on Monday morning at 6:01am, Mel gave birth to our beautiful little girl! Zoe weighed in at 6lbs and 5 oz and is 19 inches long. The labor was pretty intense (as all labors are, I suppose), but Mel did wonderfully, making it the whole way through with no drugs. I am happy to report that both mom and baby are doing fine and just got home this afternoon. We are so thankful for God’s grace in giving us a healthy daughter. We chose the name Zoe (meaning “life” in Greek) because over these past few months especially, we’ve really come to see that God truly is the giver and sustainer of life, and we are so thankful for His gift of life to us in our little girl. Isabella (meaning “devoted to God”) seemed an appropriate fit in describing our greatest desire for our daughter - that she would be someone whose life is passionately devoted to serving and loving our great God.

Thank you for all of your prayers and for rejoicing with us! Here are a few pictures of our little girl. Enjoy!

From the proud, thrilled and giddy papa,

Uche
