Sweet Nora Praise.
Wow, wow, wow. What a whirlwind the past 3 days have been! This truly has been the most exciting thing Lauren and I could ever have imagined happening to us since being married. It’s just too hard to describe, so below are a pictures from the past few days to help. Thank you, everyone, for being so supportive and congratulatory towards us since Nora’s birth–the love definitely means even more when we’re far from family and old friends.
Here’s her stats:
Name: Nora Praise Teague
Born: March 5th, 2009, 2:12am
Weight: 7lbs 8oz
Length: 19 3/4″
And here’s how pretty she is…
She’s pretty much the best. Praise Jesus for such a wonderful gift in life.
And last but not least, we have two winners in the guessing pool! Both Panzy (my mother), and Annie (Lauren’s sister) will be receiving the Google branded t-shirt of their choosing in the near future. Congratulations!

Well, I believe she’s a wonderful addition to this family. Very poised young lady, and, like Aunt Tiffany, I really the way she’s holding on to her Mother. Josh, you look so very happy and there’s no doubt how genuine your happiness is. Thank GOD all of you came through all this so well. I’m looking forward to seeing her and you and Lauren very soon. I’m so glad for the wonderful GOOGLE policy that allows you to be off for such an extended leave.
