Day Three- December 8th

We are officially parents of Rylan Christine Shirley. Papers were signed this morning at 6am, and everything is complete. We are thrilled, and cannot thank our notary enough. He got up at 5am, and got out on the icy snowy roads to come and do this for us (complete strangers). Thank God for Steven Fannin, Mark Finneken, and Brian Smith for orchestrating all of this. We're not sure what we would have done. Shannon has unfortunately decided not to go through with the tubal ligation, but at the end of the day, it's her decision. So, 50% of our goals for the day were accomplished.

Regardless, we are happy to add another beautiful baby girl to the Shirley family. We now out number Blake 5 to 1. We are going in now to see her in the NICU. We'll send pictures later on. Thank you to everyone who has been praying for us. Please continue to pray for baby Rylan, that she may have a full and quick recovery.

Many of you have been sending us texts/e-mails to encourage us throughout our day. They mean so much to us. I hope you understand why we don't have time right now to respond to each of them individually.

Can't wait to get back to Houston. Looks like it may be next week.

Love y'all,
Blake and Casey
