William Ellis

On Monday, January 28th we welcomed sweet little William Ellis Casto to our family! 

 Much to our surprise, he arrived 3 weeks early. We are SO thankful he's here!!

 7 lbs 5 oz

18 1/2"

It was a very quick labor & delivery! I'm thankful we were at the hospital and Trent was there.

Less than 24 hours before we were in Miami for Trent to run the Miami marathon (more on that soon), but we're so glad that I didn't have the baby while he was running or we were driving back.

 Hudson & Anna Kate were so excited to meet their baby brother and love giving him kisses on his head, taking turns holding him and helping in any way we let them.

 This awesome couple watched Hudson & Anna Kate while William was being born. They even got to spend the night at Ms. Martha & Mr. Bob's house. They love our kids well & our kids adore them!

 We chose William after the great Christian missionary William Carey (Hudson is named after missionary Hudson Taylor) and Ellis after my paternal grandfather. My grandfather was a respected man of character & virtue.
