Well, it's not YOUR birth announcement. This is the official birth announcement for Jordis. Why should I spend all that time and money and energy and postage to send out the stats that you already know? I think I will make up a few hard copy announcements for those old schoolers that still are not on the internet. But if you are reading this, don't wait by your mailboxes.
The Hagen Family introduces... (I know, I know, anticlimactic since you already read this stuff. Just humor me.)
Jordis Leslie Hagen
Born on July 25, 2008 at 7:20 pm
Weight 7 pounds, 13 ounces (a lightweight for a Hagen baby)
20 1/2 inches (this is from the 2 week measurement which is more accurate than the hospital - they only measured 19 inches. They have poor measuring skills).
And shoot, I think that is all the info your are supposed to put on birth announcements, right? Oh wait, a Bible verse ... she really needs one since her name is not Biblical and it means "Sword Maiden" or "Sword Goddess." So let's give her Hebrews 4:12:
"For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double‑edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart."
So since you and Jordis are getting shortchanged on the snail mail - let me give you some bonus material.
Extra pics and ... some of my favorite things (whatttt?)
My new all time favorite song is "Instead of a Show" by Jon Foreman (lead singer of Switchfoot). I highly recommend his latest release "Summer" Actually I recommend all his music.
And my favorite books is Irresistible Revolution by Shane Claiborne. I saw in speak in San Fran about a month ago.
Okay, that's it for Wendy's recommendations for now. Please feel to comment with your review of my favorites if you have listened to or read them. And if your review is negative, that's cool. There's just something wrong with you.
I bet you never got a birth announcement that was so spellbinding.
