Welcome Asher!

Asher means "happy" and we chose this name for a couple of reasons. Not only has his birth made us happy but we desire him to know the God who created happiness, and allows us to experience the fullness of his joy through a relationship with Christ.

Here are some pictures of our new baby boy--along with pictures of Sam and Joel meeting him for the first time. It has been a wonderful day for everyone. Michelle is doing great, and Rob is getting ready for his "steak and lobster" dinner they give as your last dinner with the hospital. Blessings all mine and ten thousand beside.

HE'S HERE!!!!!

Well, in the Lord's kindness...after a false alarm to my water leaking/breaking, we were able to stay at the hospital and have our sweet baby boy today!

Asher Stephen Tombrella

was born at 6:55pm, weighing in at 7lbs. 10oz, 20in long!

He is so sweet and SO cute, and Lord willing, we will post pictures of him tomorrow!

The labor and delivery went very smoothly and now we are in our postpartum room about to turn on a little football on the big screen TV...life is tough!

"Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights..."

James 1:17

Baby Update

Well, I went to the doctor yesterday and I am now 3cm and 80-85% effaced... Very hopeful for this weekend! I am having a few more contractions, but nothing regular or increasing in intensity yet. We will keep you up to date! Hopefully Rob can do some blogging while I am in labor and the event unfolds...no promises though...I might need him! :) Love you all and can't wait to announce the arrival of our new little guy!
