Tobin's birth announcement

I mailed out Tobin's birth announcement last week and also an invitation to our Thank GOD Thank YOU Celebration party.  If we missed sending you an invitation, it was no intentional.  It was hard to include EVERYONE, because so many supported us in so many different ways.  If you are interested in joining us we would LOVE to have you!!!  Just send me a message to let me know, so we can plan to have enough food.  Here are the details for the party:

Join us for our
Thank GOD Thank YOU Celebration
We thank GOD for the gift of Tobin and holding our family in His hands.  We thank YOU for loving us, supporting us, 
and praying for us.
We would love to thank you in person and 
have you meet our little miracle.
Pop in anytime between
10am and 1pm on Saturday, August 23rd
and enjoy some breakfast and bounce house fun!
This is a party of gratitude, not a shower.  Your presence is all we need!

Here is a picture of Tobin's birth announcement:

Kevin wrote this to go inside:
What is in a name?  This is a question I first asked myself seven and a half years ago.  As a parent it can be an honorary to someone we love, a statement of belief, a hope for how one will live life, and in this case all of the above.  It is with great joy and a lightened heart that we get to share our thoughts with you again on the name Tobin Victor.

Tobin means God is good.  A simple statement, but it means so much more.  It is not just a statement, but a promise, a reminder, a surety.  It is a promise that He is there with you always.  A reminder when tragedy strikes your life with hurricane force.  A surety in this world filled with uncertainty.  It is the well that we have drank from time and time again over the last year.

Victor means victorious.  To achieve victory can mean to overcome, to conquer, to defeat.  To overcome obstacles that are laid in front of you no matter the height.  To conquer the fear that has built up inside you because of this fallen world.  To defeat the doubts in your mind and know that GOD IS GOOD!!

Tobin Victor is our champion, our fighter, our miracle, and our reminder that through it all we can depend on HIM to move our mountains.  We welcome Tobin into this world with loving arms.

With Love,
Kevin

We had done something similar with Hackett's birth announcement to explain his name and who he was named after.  Look at my two little sweethearts.
