Merry Christmas

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11

Praise God for His perfect plans to give us hope and a future through his son, Jesus Christ! We are so thankful for the plans God had in store for us in the year of 2012.

We found out in January that we were expecting our first baby and we were so excited to share the news with family and friends! God blessed us with a healthy pregnancy and quick labor/birth. Sariah Faith Nobile was born on September 17th and she has filled our lives with joy and laughter. Our little girl is growing fast and likes to spend time sucking on her tongue or hands, chatting and smiling, rolling over and listening to music. We pray that Sariah will continue to grow, eager to follow God’s plans for her life!

Danielly loves mommyhood and feels blessed to be able to spend lots of time with Sariah. She is still adapting to a slower pace of life and is very grateful for baby carriers! Life as a new mom can be quite challenging at times and Danielly is thankful for the moms we met in our birth class and is looking to build relationships with other mommies in Bellingham. While pregnant, Danielly made the hard decision to turn down the opportunity to photograph several weddings but she is looking forward to continue pursuing photography in 2013.

John is having more and more fun with Sariah now that she spends more time awake and he loves to make her smile by taking her on ‘flights’ around our home! John is still excited about work and feels blessed to have so many opportunities to grow as a Software Developer at Logos Bible Software. He is thankful God has provided a job that not only supports our family financially, but also has eternal kingdom value. John is also enjoying leading a bible study for college-age guys through Cornwall Church. He is passionate bout leading young men through the transition to adulthood and God has continued to provide opportunities for him to pursue this passion.

We feel blessed to have family and friends who have been a great source of support and encouragement this past year as we faced many changes in life. We ask that you keep us in your prayers as we strive to follow God’s plans as new parents!

We hope you have a wonderful Christmas and we wish you the best for 2013!

All our love,
John, Danielly and Sariah Nobile
