(Written by Mike) There are no words to explain how much our life has changed and how much more complete it seems in these last 3 days. Landon Gerald Riddle joined us at 4:07 A.M. this past Thursday morning weighing 7 lbs. 4 oz. at 20" long. As he was born, I felt a closeness to my wife and to the Lord that I have never felt before. We are so blessed to have a healthy beautiful son and I know that our lives will never be the same. Love has definitely taken on a new meaning. Our feelings for our son are so great and so deep that any words that I would use to explain it would be inadequate. I have gotten more fulfillment from looking at his face, hearing his little baby grunts, and touching his soft skin that it is truly amazing to think that he has just been with us for three days. We can't tell everyone how much we appreciate your thoughts, support, and prayers as we have progressed from pregnancy to birth. The Lord has shown Himself to us and we are humbled that He has trusted us with such a precious little boy. Recognizing His love for us including His ultimate sacrifice has opened our eyes to a new level of appreciation and love for the Lord.
I also wanted to take this time to let everyone know what a tremendous mommy Brandee has become and what a great job she did throughout the pregnancy and the birth. While I thought that my love for her was at the highest level possible, it has dramatically escalated as we move into parenthood. Her physical, emotional, and spiritual strength was incredible. There is no doubt that I am blessed well beyond what I deserve to have such a wonderful and compassionate woman as my wife and the mother of our son.

Congratulations. There is nothing like the birth of a child to bond a husband and wife. Congratultions Brandee on your long awaited family. he is beautiful. Remember you cannot spoil them til they are 6 mos old. God Bless you all
Congratulations to you both. He looks just perfect. I never thought that he would arrive on time from your 6-5 picture. You carried little Landon very high. Breathing was difficult at best for you. Enjoy this wonderful time with your little because it goes so fast. It truly is a humbling experience joining God in a miracle. Love, Darla
