Dear friends and family:

We are excited and grateful to the Lord to announce the arrival of Isaac James Barton!  He was born yesterday, August 12th, at 4:20pm weighing 8 pounds 1 ounce and was 20.5 inches long.  Mom and baby are doing great and plan to come home this afternoon.  His name comes from a short list his mom and and I compiled over the last few days.  We settled on 3 but decided we needed to see him to make the final decision.  When I held him for the first time I thought out loud “He looks like an Isaac”.  Later Kim confirmed that she was thinking the same thing when I said that earlier.  When Sammy met him, he also said Isaac was his number one choice so that set it.  The name James is in honor of Kim’s father.

Thanks to you all for your continued prayers.  We thank God for the uneventful delivery.  To Him be the glory!  Please see some more of the pictures of our little one in our photo gallery on this site.  Blessings to all.

    He is absolutely precious! We also thought he instantly reminded us of Nathan and we never knew Nathan as a baby! Congratulations to all of you! Sammy, Nathan and Josiah will all be awesome big brothers! We look forward to meeting him someday!
