Introducing Izabel
By Paul Vernon on Oct 19, 2010 in Izi
On October 13th at 6:55 am we welcomed Izabel Ruth into our family. She was born weighing 3.9 kilograms (8 lbs. 10 ounces) after about 2.5 hours of natural labor and childbirth. Both Izi and Lori are doing great. Thus far (she’s only 5 days old as I write this) she’s been a wonderful baby; she sleeps well, she eats well, and we’ve never seen her cry for more than 15 seconds. She’s already using the toilet a couple of times a day as we are continuing with our EC practices. Abigail loves her little sister and making the life adjustment well.
Our family has been staying in our city home in Chiangrai for all of October and we will probably remain here until the month is over as we adjust as a family to our new addition. We’re excited to get back into our normal ministry pace, but have really enjoyed this time in the city preparing for Izi, spending time as a family, and working on our city-side projects.
We have been tumbl’ing images of Izabel over on her own blog – Our Izi Ruth – rather than fill up this blog with tons of kid pictures (actually we all have Tumblr blogs if you would like to follow our lighter and more personal posts: Izi Abi Lori Paul) but wanted to share a few pictures here as well:
Hi Lori!

Hi there. Congratulations on your newest addition!!
So glad to have found you guys and your ministry. We are new in Thailand, living in Chiang Mai, running a Children’s Home for girls from the Hill Tribes. We have three little ones, and I was encouraged looking at your ministry tonight to the Ahka. We are from Colorado, too. . .
Hope to check back again, soon.
Congrats, again,
