Welcome, Asher!





Many of you may already have heard, but we haven’t yet announced in a newsletter the arrival of our fourth child, Asher Josue Starkenburg! Asher was born on June 21, weighing 7 pounds 14 ounces. Now, at 2 ½ months old, he weighs close to 16 pounds and is growing fast. We were blessed to have Liam’s mom here both for his birth and again in July, as well as Jessica’s mom and sister here later in July and August. We couldn’t have done it without all their help!

Caleb and Judah are happy to have another little one to entertain, and Belen, although she doesn’t pay much attention to Asher yet, is glad to have him as a distraction now that her older brothers have both started up school again. Please continue to pray for our adjustment and the busyness that comes with having four children ages five and under. Pray for wisdom as we parent these precious children and raise them up to follow the Lord and to serve Him. We are so thankful for four healthy, happy children!
