We are so thankful to God for His providence, faithfulness and love upon our lives...2011 was a wonderful year, and yet with the occasional hurdles...To wrap up the year, and in one form a birthday gift, we were blessed with the birth of our third child, our baby son, Mark Brendan...The hospital was smooth, the Mum, my adorable Bride- Miriam, was healthy throughout the pregnancy, was strong at that crucial moment and handled very well. And I was right there, holding her hand or rather- having my hand squeezed tightly!!! 
We arrived at the hospital Sun.04/12/11 at about 3.30pm, and little Mark Brendan was introduced to this world at 6.50pm. Wow, amazing....God surely is in control, and we just cannot explain it...It's always a life changing moment that we can most times never find the words to explain, but simply say, "Thank you God". Come Mon.05/12/11 we were out of hospital...that's how strong and determined the Mrs is...not to keep hanging around hospitals like there's nothing better to get done!
So we left for home, and the excitement of our 2 big girls- Abigail Benita and Miranda Bernice, having a little brother was so contagious...ofcourse with the occasional discomforts of child no.2 no longer being the baby but now a big sis. Nonetheless, the two are so loving and caring- they want to dress him up, they want to give him a bath or to be the ones delegated to calm him down when the occasional tummy discomforts arise...definately, Miranda and Abigail cannot wait for Mark to start walking and running, and talking, so that they have a growing playgroup.
Well, it's such a huge load to handle, and all I can say many a time is, "God, indeed you are good and your mercies & love endure forever.
