A babe is born

With great rejoicing and Praise to our heavenly Father, we announce the birth of Michael and Kressant Morton's first son, Michael B. Morton III!!!

The Lord blessed the delivery, and he arrived this morning at 1:05 am. He weighed 6 pounds and 2 ounces. Such a beautiful, tiny little blessing from the Lord!! The Morton and Smith households are just thrilled to pieces with their little son, grandson, great-grandson, nephew and cousin:) What a joy!! Father, Mother and baby are all doing wonderfully.

We praise the name of our awesome Creator and LORD, for bringing little Michael III safely into this world!!!

Well, everyone has been asking for pictures so here they are:)

The scoop on Granddad and Nana

A few weeks ago contingents from the Cox, Smith, Morton, Orlans, and Griffin families met up in Roswell at Nana's house (That's Daddy's mother) for the afternoon. Midway through the evening Granddad (Aunt Jeanine's father) called us all together in the living room. The excitement level was quickly rising, as he had been courting Nana for the past couple of weeks! (For the whole scoop on that you can check out the Morton's blog www.mortonclan.blogspot.com.)

Granddaddy looked around, cleared his throat and began his speech. At the height of the excitement, he pulled a ring out of his pocket and placed it on Nana's hand!!

We were all so excited. They were married last Saturday in Roswell!

Pictures of the wedding to follow!!

We pray the LORD will continue to bless their marriage as they serve the Lord together whole heartedly.

They have shown such an encouraging, beautiful example to us through the years.

We love y'all Granddaddy and Nana:)

May the name of the LORD be praised!!!!
