I would like to update the reading public on the recent events in my life. On May 4 Liz and I graduated from Andrews University. She graduated with her B.S. in Nursing and I graduated with my M.Div. After we graduated we moved out of our duplex in Berrien Springs, Michigan and moved down to Niles, Michigan to live temporarily with the Whites. We wanted to stay until the baby was born and then move down to Texas. On the weekend following graduation I flew down to Texas and attended the Burleson church. I also spent time with the Adams who are members of the Crowley church: the church where I spend most of my time. I was able to rent a house in a subdivision that is developing. The house continued to be worked on while we waited for the baby to be born. We had anticipated that the baby would be born early in June. However as the baby's due date approached we began to worry that the baby would come later than expected. This would have been a problem because we had already told the Texas Conference a date that we would be heading down to Texas. In addition the moving truck had been scheduled. So as the due date continued to approach we decided we would induce labor. We began inducing the labor on thursday June 5, 2008 and the Alexander Thomas Baldwin was born early Friday morning the 6th. The monday following the Alexander's birth I helped the truck driver load up our stuff that we had moved into storage in Berrien Springs. Then on the following weekend we left Michigan and began our trip down to Texas. We first stayed with my family and in Ohio for a few days. Then we made our way down to Huntsville, Alabama and stayed with the Evans for about two days. After that we continued on our way and stayed in Texarkana for the last night of our trip. We arrived at our home in Texas on thursday the 18th of June.
My daughter has been born: Isabella Kiera Baldwin. She is so beautiful and healthy. She was born on November 4, 2011. The labor was not that long but my wife, Liz, was in a lot of pain. We owe a great deal of gratitude to the midwife for intervening and helping to manually progress the labor. Isabella was a big baby weighing 8 lbs. 11.5 oz. and was 22". I am so excited to have a daughter and I can't wait to raise her. She is so cute. Her brothers Matt and Lex are also excited to have a sister. With all the superheroes and sports we can now have princesses and fairytales. My family is growing and I have God to thank.
