A Great Day!

What can you say about a day like this! July 5, 2007 will forever be remembered as the day that Miles Joshua Surratt swept his mommy and daddy right off of their feet! Neither of us were remotely prepared for the magnitude of the love that we feel for him.


He came at 2:10 pm via C Section weighing in at a respectable 6lbs 11oz. He was 19 inches long, but I think that he'll lose an inch or so when his little head decreases in swelling. (We'll tell that story later)

Here are some more pics:





The official weigh-in





Meeting Mom For The First Time


Daddy is Pumped!

Thank you all so much for your prayers and support. We are incredibly blessed to have such great family and friends to support us and help us raise Miles. Our single greatest desire is that he grows up to love and serve the Lord...whether that is in ministry or the NBA or anything in between! We'll post more later, but it's time for some rest.

I predict Miles will be a starting point guard for the Bulls! He's handsome kid, and you're right nothing does prepare you for the sudden rush of love you feel for the little guy! Congrsts to you, Lisa, Grandma & Grandpa!
