Well, finally after much anticipation, waiting and praying, my niece Ariana Grace Williams has finally arrived!!!!! God be praised!
She was born on December 5th and weighed 6lbs, 8oz. My brother Jasen called me Friday night to tell me they were on the way to the hospital, so having to wait a whole day to hear the news and see pictures made the day so much longer! My sister and Ariana are doing just fine. Big brother Marshall got to camp out with Grandpa Karkan the whole night in the waiting room. This is what they were doing at 3:00am :D
They apparently had a whole stock-load of video games to keep them occupied when they weren't sleeping. Grandpa also had to take him on laps of the hospital after Ariana was born, because he couldn't sit still to contain his excitement at meeting his sister. Grandma of course was very proud of the fact that she was up the entire time, but admits falling asleep before she hit the pillow when they got home that night. Grandpa of course is very proud and will have a lot to learn now that he has a grandaughter to spoil as well as Marshall.

It 
makes me so sad to think that I can't run right over to the hospital and hold her and touch her baby skin and hold her tiny hands and feet in the palm of my hand. She'll change so much every day, and by the time I see her she'll practically double in size. As sad as this makes me feel, the joy I feel from this new blessing God has given our family entirely outweighs the sadness. I know my parents will make sure that she is never deprived of hugs and kisses, and that I will have a full photo library to keep me updated on how she's doing.

In addition to prayers of Thanksgiving for Ariana's safe arrival, please remember Aaron's mom. She wasn't able to be there for Ariana's birth because she was hit by a car that was fleeing another accident scene going 80mph. She is in the hospital in serious condition with several broken bones and a concussion. The guy driving the car on a suspended license however got to go home. We'll keep praying for him too.
