Lydia Nancy Graham

Lydia Nancy Graham arrived on Easter Sunday at 4:59 PM at 7 lbs. 11 oz and 19.5 inches.  We named her Lydia because we wanted a Biblical name and a name that had 2 or more syllables since Graham is only one.  Lydia was a seller of purple cloth in Philippi when Paul and Timothy came to preach there.  She welcomed them into her home and was the first European convert to Christianity.  Nancy is in honor of both her Grandmas since my mom and Doug's mom are both named Nancy. 
Lydia is already growing quickly- last Thursday she weighed 9 lbs. at the doctor.  She is a mostly content baby, and Daru and Kina are adjusting to life with an infant.
