It was a long labor, but Averi Jadyn Rhoades made a grand entrance for her happy parents, Rocky and Jovan, last night. 

She arrived at 11 pm on February 3 (just one hour before her due date), weighing in at 7 pounds, 8 ounces and 20" long, with a generous amount of black hair and some extremely kissable cheeks – to a large assortment of cheering aunts and uncles and grandparents and cousins.

From a scripture Rocky adapted for his life when he was just 13 or 14: "Praise the LORD! [Hallelujah!]  Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who finds great delight [cherishing and relishing] in His commmands.  His children will be mighty [robust, successful] in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed."  Psalm 112. 1,2 NIV, with a bit of "amplification"

She is grand-baby number 5 for us and it just keeps getting better.  I wholeheartedly recommend giving it a try!…Jeanie

NOTE TO SELF: Keep her name constant in prayer before the Lord.
