Birth Announcement

 We are thrilled to announce the safe arrival of 


Oliver Philip Anderson


born on Tuesday, May 31st, at 6:58 p.m. weighing 7 lbs 7 oz. and measuring 20.75 inches. 



Due to my advanced maternal age, I chose a hospital delivery this time around, even though the pregnancy was uneventful and free of any complications. 

Little Ollie (or Olliephant, as Eva calls him) is turning out to be a super easy and mellow baby. He is nursing and sleeping very well, and has been smiling from birth. To say we are beyond thrilled is an understatement.

My phone is already full of hundreds of pictures of excited siblings taking turns holding him. I will refrain from oversharing them here, but this is a little glimpse into my current everyday reality. 









My oldest and my youngest ♥ ♥

We are so thankful to God for a healthy pregnancy, safe delivery, and perfect little son. Babies truly are God's greatest gift this side of eternity.

  8. He is absolutely precious. What a sweetie to be smiling. Your entire family is. My daughter gave birth to a little boy last November on my dad's 95th birthday. She was 41 at the time of having Caleb. Did super well. Glad to read you are doing well. I enjoy watching your family grow. Congrats and Blessings to you.

  15. What a wonderful family you have! I hope y’all have a great time during this upcoming academic year. Thus, children from larger families grow up in a less enriched environment and tend to perform less well on measures of ability.

  17. Congratulations! But what's up with the midwife? Tattoos and a nose ring? Is she Christian?

    1. We don't judge whether someone is a Christian by the way they look. There are lots of people out there too who are evil and look like regular church goers.

  18. He’s so precious 😁 I’ve enjoyed seeing the pictures and videos of you all since he’s been born and watching him sleep on you while watching your video from Germany of the churches you visited 😁 May God bless your family 🙏🏻
