Leah
Deb and I are ecstatic to to announce the birth of our daughter! Leah Soraya Eckmier was born on Wednesday, September 10, 2008 at 2:28 am; 6 lbs, 9 oz of pure beauty and grace. Mom & Baby are doing great, and we’re all excited to be home. We’re thanking God for Leah’s safe arrival and the incredible gift and blessing He has given us.
After 9 months of preparation, anticipation, appointments, ultrasounds and baby showers, it is amazing to finally come face to face with such a beautiful creation. Becoming a father is the most incredible feeling I have ever experienced, and every time this princess looks at me, I melt all over again.
Welcome to the world Leah, you are truly amazing!

Your life has, officially, taken on a new direction and meaning. Fatherhood is the best, even when it gets really tough. Seems like only yesterday our two kids were born ~sniff.
