Voices live in every finite being,
Often undivined, near silence.
Hear them!
Hear them in you! in others!
They sense truth deep in all life;
They know the things true Pilgrims stand for.
Stand out!
Come to Him without the things the world brings;
Come to Him!
As a child and as a poor man.
He had all. He gave all.

Birth Announcement

Our family has been basking in the warmth and glow of our recent joy, a poignant pleasure and a happy gratitude for the long-awaited "yea and amen" to our prayers for a little Moon.

I am honored to introduce you to the newest member of our family,
Judah Rayburn Moon.


He was born at 7:30 on the 30th of December, and so shares his birthday with our nephew, Jude Davis Packard. He was 7 lbs, 14 oz and has already proved himself a healthy eater and sleeper.


The adoption papers have all been signed and will be finalized once
they are processed by the State.

Grandma and Grandpa were able to be with the Moons those first days. Apparently, the word on the street is that Judah bears a striking resemblance to Grandpa...something about being dark and handsome?


In short, we are all SO happy to have this little one to love!

I can't wait to meet you and get to know you, Judah!


We love you!
