The last couple of weeks has been a period of extremely slow posting. Why?On Friday, July 18 at 4:53am my son, Michael Patrick Barber, Jr., was born after 33 hours of labor. He was 8lbs. and 11oz.
Of course, I will never be the same. The experience was nothing short of mystical. I came to know and love my wife so much more deeply and profoundly than I could have ever imagined possible.
It has all been so amazing.
I could write volumes on the experience. However, since they say a picture is worth a thousand words, I'll just leave you with these...

Congratulations!!! Mother and child are beautiful!!! Way to go, new dad! Thank you for posting.
Congratulations!
I was wondering why things had been quiet around here, and I was wondering where you had all gone on holiday! Now I know better! Congratulations: he looks lovely. And a big boy too! Hopefully he won't grow too fast and burn through your babygrows budget!
Michael,
On behalf of myself and Joel, congratulations on the birth of Michael Jr. to you and the wife.
Blessings!
Have been grateful to follow your blog for a while now. I do appreciate your careful integration of Old and New Testaments. Thanks.

(Somehow, I pulled a "Mike Bird" and my wife's name ended up on the previous message! (i.e. "Faith")

Congratulations, Michael and Kim!!
You know how beautiful I think he is (I got to see him in person!). You and Kim are already wonderful parents, and I look forward to many years of friendship with you both as you experience the joys of parenthood.
God bless little Michael!!
(Is that a copy of the Bible he has hidden underneath him?)
