On August 3 at 7:25 in Bellingham, WA, Jonah David Martinez entered into this world. There were two sets of grandparents jumping up and down with excitement. One set in Spokane, WA and the other in Atlanta, GA. Edwin was actually in Guatemala with a short-term mission group and I was calling him on Skype filling him in with all the news and photos I could get. We are thankful to all of you who prayed and grateful to the Lord for a fast delivery. There were barely two hours from when Nina woke up to when Jonah was born.
Nina’s parents arrived first and stayed for the first ten days. Then after three days leaving mom and dad alone with their two cherubs, I arrived. Edwin is due in tonight. As I write this, he has an hour layover in Minneapolis. He is so excited to be able to meet and hold little Jonah. He can hardly wait. Liam, Jonah’s older brother hasn’t quite decided how to respond yet. For right now, when he thinks he needs more attention given to him, he will act out doing things he knows he shouldn’t. However, I see less and less of that and more interest in this little baby that cries so often.

Here is a picture of Liam looking at his brother for the first time.
Thank you for your prayers. God has been good to us and we thank Him. We are blessed.
Edwin and Evie Martinez
