Another boy!

Well, we had another new arrival on the Lins Ranch! Our horse, Molly, delivered a lil' colt on the 19th. Of course it all went down at 2:00 AM! Not a lot of sleep to be had around here lately. We have been calling him Mac.

Josiah is doing very well...he is gaining weight like a champ and always lets us know when it's meal time. He looking more and more like a little boy everyday. Kate is adjusting to full time motherhood, as her mentor (Darla) departed over a week ago. There has been some bumps in the road, but Kate has been a wonderful mom.


We have had several visiters from Texas and Minnesota the last few weeks. Mandi (Kate's sister) and Faith (our niece) stayed with us for a week. We even had the pleasure of celebrating Faith's 1 year birthday with a luau. Don (Kate's dad aka Pappa) and Ryan (our bother-in-law) were also able to visit. We had a great time.



As for me (Ryan), I have been enjoying fatherhood, even though the long days in the field get a little tough with limited sleep. However, all the corn for my experiments was planted last week and the Lord even helped out with about a half an inch of rain.

That's the news from the Delaware Lins's. Hope all is well with you!

Meet Josiah Daniel Lins

Josiah was born on April 5, 2007 at Kent General Hospital in Dover, Delaware. He was 6 lbs 14 oz and 19 inches long. Kate went into labor on her due date (the 4th) and Josiah was born the next day at 11:30 AM. Kate is recovering well from the delivery and Josiah has already become an eating machine. Here are some pictures of the little guy. Enjoy!
