Answered prayer alert! :) Philip is now officially a US citizen! By far, this was the easiest time we’ve had processing our children’s paperwork. Philip also has his US passport so he’s ready for international travels. :) Thank you so much for all your prayers!

Birthday Boys
In January, we celebrated both of our sons’ birthdays. Philip turned 1 on January 8 and Micah turned 6 on the 20th so we had a joint celebration. Thankfully, there were no complaints about sharing a birthday (this year, we’ll see how long that lasts!). :) Micah’s face lit up as we picked up his birthday cards at the post office. Thank you to all our family, friends, and churches who remembered his birthday! Your thoughtfulness made it extra special!
Watch Them Grow!
Sunday was extra special for our family. For weeks now, Abbie has been praying for her friend (our neighbor’s little girl) to come to church! Sometimes life gets busy and our children’s desires take a back seat to everything else that is happening. But Abigail kept praying and asking her friend to come to church. One day she said, “Mom, my friend wants to come with us on Sunday!” So that afternoon Abbie and I talked to her friend’s parents. The mother grinned, “Yes, your daughter has been asking me for weeks if my kids can come.” My heart was so full! I’m so thankful for my little girl and her desire to bring people to church. I pray she never loses that desire! Sunday came and we were so blessed to have Abbie’s friend and her sister come to our services! I thank the Lord for answering my baby’s prayers and growing her faith!
Welcome Philip Michael!
Our son, Philip Michael Baran was born! He surprised us and arrived three days before his due date, on January 8th. We went to the hospital thinking it might be a false alarm but just two hours later we were holding our baby boy. Philip weighs 7lbs 4oz and is a very healthy little guy. Our thanks go out to everyone who sent well wishes and prayed for us!
