A Teaspoon of Fire: Time to make it official

I'm getting very close to finishing up Kate's birth story and I realized that I never properly introduced our little lady here. So, in preparation for the posting of her wonderful birth story, I thought we'd make it official and announce our beautiful little girl:

**********************

Kate Nicole Hoffman

5 lbs, 5 oz

18 inches long

August 4th, 2013

8:55 p.m.

Stillborn, but born still.

*************************

(And one more, for now, so you can see her gorgeous fuzzy little head. It's my favorite. I just love, love, love it.)

Mosiah 24:14-16

14 And I will also ease the burdens which are put upon your shoulders, that even you cannot feel them upon your backs, even while you are in bondage; and this will I do that ye may stand as witnesses for me hereafter, and that ye may know of a surety that I, the Lord God, do visit my people in their afflictions.

15 And now it came to pass that the burdens which were laid upon Alma and his brethren were made light; yea, the Lord did strengthen them that they could bear up their burdens with ease, and they did submit cheerfully and with patience to all the will of the Lord.

16 And it came to pass that so great was their faith and their patience that the voice of the Lord came unto them again, saying: Be of good comfort, for on the morrow I will deliver you out of bondage.
