Iona Has Come

Newborn

Labor was tough, 

but Greg was very supportive.

Sutter Davis has an excellent birthing center.

Little Lady

Baby Tia

From two years of age, when Dinah carried 

her newborn brother, Victor, out the front door, 

we had to keep an eye on Dinah because 

she loves babies.

A woman giving birth to a child has pain 
because her time has come; 

but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish 

because of her joy that 
a child is born into the world. ~John 16:21

Auntie Melody and Gma. delight in 

Dinah's long awaited child.

Some months before Dustin came into our world, Dinah asked girls entering the Bakersfield abortion clinic if they would let her adopt their child, to no avail. 

Just 13 months after their wedding day, God has granted the desire of Dinah's heart.
