I have prayed for you both all night long. I saw that Allison was in labor and a few hours later I got a call that my stepdaughter was in labor (although she’s only 33 weeks). Praise the Lord! My stepdaughter is now fine, the labor is stopped and we hope to wait at least another month! Praise the Lord! Finley is absolutely beautiful! What a precious baby:)!

{reply}
I’m excited to be the first to say…
HAPPY BIRTHDAY FINLEY!!!
I’m crying tears of joy! Partly because of the miracle that I just got to “witness.” Also because you and Allison get to have a boy – they are so very different from girls, and they have such a wonderful bond with their mothers. I wanted that for both of you, but especially for her. He will be a joy and a blessing when Ava goes through her “difficult to like” stage.
So… was this the inspiration for your “manly things” post?
{reply}
He is so cute.Congratulations!
{reply}
Oh, and Dan, he may have the easy part now, but the hard part for him will be the rest of his life.
{reply}
God Bless All of You! He’s is SOOOO handsome! So exciting to wake up this morning and see this amazing news! Congratulations to all of you! And Finley is such a great name.! XO
{reply}
sorry – guess i’m just too excited…

Congratulations to you, Allison & Ava Beans, Ryan! Finley is a cutie and I can see resemblences of all of you in his face.
Ryan, I was introduced to your site after reading about you at The Pioneer Woman’s site. I am a retiree who does volunteer things as part of my “giving back.” One thing I do is knit baby booties for an agency that helps young Moms. If you & Allison would like, I’d send you some booties for Findley. Just email to let me know.
